Hi, just got an offer from ms. 115 base 20 signing 30 stock grants Why do people include stock grants in TC? Since you only get a percentage of it per time? I think this is a good offer for my 2 yoe. What do u guys think?

Standard. Get a competitive offer

New grads make more than that. Stock grants are included as TC because they are typically paid out annually and are as good as cash if it's from a publicly traded tech company.

You include what you get each year in your tc. So assuming stock is over 4 years your tc here is 115 + target 10% bonus + 6k in stock = about 133. We give level 59 college grads 150k in stock over 4 years, we don't do that for industry hires in general. If you had a competition offer from another tech company you could negotiate.

Yes, i know about that. In my situation, they say they cant go higher. Dont know if its worth fighting over it.

150k in stock for new grads is the highest possible offer, and not standard
