How do you calculate the RSU portion of your current TC?
I understand how it works for a new job offer i.e. base + bonus + (RSU Over 4 years)/4 But, let’s say I’ve been working somewhere for 2 years and my company’s stock price has gone up since I joined. Are you supposed to factor that in when you compute your current TC? Of course the stock price could also end up going down, so should you even account for the price difference? For ex: Let’s say your job offer included $100k worth of RSUs in 2017 i.e. RSU portion of TC == $25k. Say the stock price was $100 at that time, translating to 1000 units. If the stock price has now gone up from $100 to $150, should the RSU portion of your current TC be $37.5k or still count as $25k? I’d think it should be $37.5k, but not sure since the stock price could always also go down later. TC: 233k or 265k
You should absolutely consider stock price changes.
When providing TC on Blind it is good etiquette to mention if there was stock appreciation. But generally it’s the number on your W-2 for that year.
Lolz.
Don’t forget to include refreshers
This hurts.
You would count 25K as your compensation package because that’s “what you’re worth”. The appreciation in stock has nothing to do with you. However, if you plan on getting bought out by another firm, you use $37.5K because that’s what your currently holding.
That’s what I thought too, but most other comments on this post seem to say otherwise o.O
tldr; Look at ur w-2
