Can someone explain me which is a good deal & why. Is it because thy are taxed @ different rates..? This is specific to Amazon, since AMZN stock in only going North for atleast 2 yrs and more.
If TC is the same then I'd always say go more cash. 100% cash if you could. You can then always buy amazon stock if you really want right? At least then the choice is yours.
If you believe stock will go up, prefer higher equity. E.g. base 200K and equity 100K per year. If stock doubles in 2 years, equity is now 200K per year, so TC is 400K. If you go with 300K base and 0 equity, TC will not reach 400K in 2 years. This goes other way too, if stock is cut in half, your TC drops. If you believe, stock bull run is over and will go down from this point, prefer more cash.
Yes this is true, however afaik companies for the most part are more willing to give equity than cash so usually not a 1:1 payoff (although could just be my small sample size)
If total comp is same in both cases, high base is a obvious choice. 1. It's like having monthly vest 2. If you wanted stocks, buy with your high base.
Base !
Then taking a offer with similar TC with HBLE(High Base Low Equity) makes sense..? . To be specific 100% increase in base.The perks being getting to learn new things at new company.
Depending on cash bonus vs stock refresher
I hear Amazon doesnโt give refreshers if the stock goes up (so you donโt win if it does and lose if it doesnโt). Choose higher base.
