I’ve not s
- Is more TC/RSUs really worth it? Are big tech employers reasonable anymore? Like some folks, I get jealous seeing the massive TCs thrown around here. I compare myself and it makes my $150k TC seem like a joke at times when I know I should feel proud of what I earn. I get absolutely no equity—just cash and bonus. I’m also lazy as hell.
