> so it doesn't have to go up, it just needs to not drop. Amazon compensation packages assume 15% increase in RSU value year over year, so when you get a 4 year grant as a new hire, your target compensation will be projected based off 15% year over year growth, which typically means less stock granted in year 4 compared to year 3. With a stagnant stock price, many Amazon employees are potentially at risk of not hitting their year 3 target compensation.
