“Compound returns” are exponential returns. Is there another definition of exponential that im not away of?

Refreshers are priced at when they were granted and compound 4 years. So you have 4 years of compounding growth. Refreshers also stack, creating more compounding. Once they vest, you can sell them to match snp500 past the 4 years.

My RSUs and total compensation has grown by 20-30% the last 3 years, despite my base salary only increasing 1-2%. If that isn't exponential growth, idk what is. RSU values compound.

Career growth. This includes job title, responsibilities, and compensation. Companies can promote you every 1-2 years, but you need to start that clock.

Fair, but the exponential growth function can be much more aggressive for a side project than your career. In a career, you max raises at 20% per year over a 5 year period? But side projects can have revenue increase 20% MRR. Also, within c
