The funny thing about cash is that you can use it to buy equity. Who knows, maybe you’ll even learn to diversify by investing in areas uncorrelated to your line

- almost_usual 5y agoIt’s equivalent if the cash bonus is paid up front or at the beginning of 2020 when the employee starts. So 200k base and 300k signing bonus. I _thought_ Netflix comps with a cash salary and if that’s the case it’s worth less than equity. The salary depreciated over the course of 2020 while an equity grant would have appreciated from the start.

- almost_usual 5y agoThanks for clarifying
- decafninja 5y agoWe can’t base everything on 2020 though. My stock portfolio absolutely skyrocketed in 2020 beyond imagination. But it has remained mostly stagnant in 2021. Would cash+equity comp still be preferable to an all cash Netflix comp in that case? I guess the gist of my question is: Non-Netflix FAANG level company salary + stock without appreciation >= Netflix all-cash salary?
