BP or GTFO

All this TC talk sounds real circle-jerky, I think we can get a better sense of !(real cash) a paycheck if we talk base pay. The definition of TC is too vague, bonuses can vary based on performamce, stocks fluctuate, and some perks that would cost others ( e.g. on-site day care) are just difficult to estimate, and glassdoor sucks. What's your title, bp, and yoe? I'll start: Network Engineer, 98k, 4 yoe. p.s. I ain't afraid of you HR

You won't get an idea of real cash by just talking about base pay. This is a stupid post.

Correct, real cash is the wrong term. What's on your paycheck?

Vertivco FastPapuan Jan 2, 2019

Yeah you can't cash out your stocks, so base pay is extremely necessary you fool.

Everyone likes to post a chubby when stepping out the cold shower but when that shrivel dick paycheck is on the line this place gets real quiet.

There are a lot of execs who's base pay is $1. https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2014/04/05/tax-smart-billionaires-who-work-for-1/ This post is stupid

$1 or not, what's your base pay or GTFO

Base pay is useless if I got paid 150k with a 150k bonus I can expect to see again next year. TC 300

A10 Networks fropser OP Jan 2, 2019

So base pay 150k, ack.

The singular reason why tech companies split compensation into cash and stock is because it's tax effective on their side. Google can very well just pay a $400k cash salary instead of $160 + $240k worth of GOOG. They choose not to because once you receive the stock you can sell it and turn it into cash, so it makes no difference on your end but all the difference on their end. They'd pay you cash + bars of gold if that were more tax effective.

But why the elaborate vesting structure?

My point is base pay doesn't mean shit

Pure Storage r@nd03 Jan 2, 2019

My base pay this year was < 35% of my W2 income. What is the point of asking about base pay?

A10 Networks fropser OP Jan 2, 2019

Where I work, there isn't much more worth than base pay, so all the "extras" people post on here doesn't mean shit to me. I survive thanks to base pay and what drops into my bank account every 2 weeks. Any stock or bonus is virtually chump change, so that is why I ask about base pay.

A10 Networks fropser OP Jan 2, 2019

I see that now, after multiple people saying this post is stupid and base pay doesn't matter.
