How do you calculate total comp? How do you factor in vesting RSUs? Do you base it on prior years actual income or current years potential income (with the assumption that the stock stays pretty flat)? I've always just content base salary + potential bonus paid at 100%, but I'm now making substantial amounts of money from multiple successive refreshers vesting out.
Some people measure the length, but some look at girth. There really isn’t a single answer
Do companies ask you to submit current employer’s pay slip to verify your current TC is what you have told them during offer stage ? Is it okay to state current TC 30k-50k more than what you actually make to negotiate the offer well ?
It isn't legal to ask for current salary in California. I would never give a company by W-2. I state above the salary I want for the job I'm applying for, not the salary or job I have.
The TC of an offer needs to be calculated based on the stock value at the time you received them. I see that fallacy all the time with Google or other techs that went up a lot. Your TC is not the value of the stocks today, they were when you received!!!
You are being compensated by the fluctuations of the market...

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
Total comp is the value on your W2. So for last year, you can reference your W2. For this year, it is however you feel it is most accurate to calculate it. If I’m calculating it for a recruiter, I may exaggerate a bit by using full bonus percentage and use 52 week high stock price for calculating vesting stock.
Why do you calculate your TC for a recruiter?
When they ask what your current tc is.
