At amazon, stock refreshes depend on the old rsus that are vesting that year. Basically, if there is a huge increase in stock price of amazon, you get lesser stock refreshes that year.
Someone told me that, at Microsoft its not the case - the amount of rsus or cash bonus does not depend on the old rsus ( that you got in previous years) that are vesting that year. Is that true ??

I’ve had reports transferred to my team where I cringed at how low their pay was. For myself I’d have to get near the top of the E5 band to even match my current comp and my current position is lower than E5 at amazon. Of course my target comp never looks like that when I get it but by the time the stocks beat my total comp is usually almost 50% higher than it was at target.
