Yes, total comp decreased by about 20%.
They did try to make it right: I got a merit base salary increase of about 9%, and the company gave a top up RSU grant when they usually do stock refreshers once annually. I appreciated that, but this wasn't enough to make up for the stock crashing hard. I'm pushing hard for a promotion to try and somewhat make up for it.
When I started working here I thought of RSUs as a casino and never counted on them for living expenses, but they've become such a huge part of my total comp that it still stings mentally a bit. I'm still very well paid, but we have some big expenses coming up around trying for kids. With inflation we're trying to budget a little tighter to ensure that our plans go smoothly.
