Just curious how TC is calculated. 1) base + initial rsu/4 + signing + expected cash bonus 2) base + initial rsu/4 + expected cash bonus 3) base + initial rsu/4

What is L5 equivalent to for companies that have titles? Would it be "Staff Software Engineer" or "Senior Software Engineer?"

How comes the 100k bonus? The bonus is supposed to be 15% (or up to 25%-30%) of the base.
