Moksha
Piling up FU/retirement money and/or stressing over passive income happens after that.
No stress. Some weeks may need to put 40-45 hrs. But rest of the weeks are fine at 20 hours
Nope, but it eliminated a lot of companies during a job search. "Oh, ok - no, we can't offer anything in that range. But we have a great culture and the work is very rewarding in itself..."
400k TC at Pinterest? No way....
In stock that will never be worth anything
At Pinterest, a lot of people have 600+k TC comp. But that's if you counting illiquid stock.
What are your base salaries? Total Comp means nothing without knowing the details: Base salary Cash bonus and payout schedule Stock and vesting schedule
$260k base Small spot bonuses for some people $700k RSUs vesting per year, price at current $12b valuation Even if you think we're 3x overvalued that's $500k per year
I’m 190k salary / 300k stock per year
Next goal? 600K TC. Then 700k.
No stress. I feel like I’ve already “made it” so to speak. The experience I have gained is highly valuable to other high paying companies. My cash salary is $450k and own ~$4mm in liquid stock. Additionally, if you can’t cash out your stock within the next quarter, you should not count it towards TC.
No stress. Just having fun. :)
