Include possibility of an IPO or huge growth.
So to have quantify this for example.
At microsoft if you're a 63 and you're probably around 150 and bonus is at 15% and stock is likely 10 a year so for simplicity let's assume 3% increases in salary and bonus a year but not compound. So 15% and then average it to blend so 7%
So in 5 years
160*5 = 800
24k*5 = 120k
Stock = 50k
+ 20% growth in stock so call it 60k
So over 5 years microsoft is a tad shy of a mil at 980k
Can someone do the math at other companies

Salary $180k x 5 = $900k
Equity $1.3m at current valuation
$2.2m over 5 years assuming you don't get any great refreshers and our market cap doesn't increase
Grow engineering offices in HK, Singapore, Tokyo. Maybe strike a deal with EU for large hiring in Berlin.
Make above market rate offers to G, FB, Amzn employees.
steal core product talent with a sole focus on expanding growth in western markets (they can already easily dominate Eastern market, but are terrible at Western product design).
The best engineers I know would gladly move abroad to ride out Trump era, if it meant little financial risk.
