If your current w2 is pumped up because of stock appreciation, how should you take that into account during job change and salary negotiation ?
Try to get as close to it as you can or just accept what you feel you’re worth for the role. You could always just stay where you are too if you’re that worried
I would include the appreciation when negotiating new TC
Honestly your best bet is just getting multiple offers. Some companies are not even allowed to use your current comp as an input into salary negotiation.
use the share price of the rsus when they were issued.
Doesn't that mean you could potentially go down in TC
Yeah that's my question as well. So a job change could mean potentially lower TC when you take stocks into account.
