I suspect people here don’t represent an unbiased sampling. For instance, how many superstars will have time to hang out and post their numbers here?

    I am shocked that self-selection bias could be a thing on this forum

    It's very accurate. People who say it's biased are those who live in denial.

    I think its more about how people interpret TC.
    Some consider only base, some with minimum bonus, some with max bonus, some without equity, some with equity they got not considering vesting period, etc...
    On top of that you have role and office location (continent/Country /city).
    This creates inconsistent data more than bias IMO.

      It should be based on average yearly shares granted. That’s what the company is giving you. Any changes to stock price would be like investments you made with your base.
