I assume that there are a lot of HR folks on bilnd who do comp planning etc. I'm wondering what the relationship between the stock market performance and initial offer RSU awards is. Like if nasdaq goes up by 20% in a year, should we expect the RSUs awards go up similarly on average? I know that job market competition defines the offers but I'm wondering what the relationship between stock market performance and initial RSUs or TC is.#tech #comp

    Not a comp planning guy, but I am pretty sure that's not standard approach across companies.

    For e.g. Amazon sets a target comp and assumes the stock appreciation will be the reward for people who remain employed.

    Obviously other companies are all over the spectrum, including Netflix who just wants to give a cash comp and you choose if u wanna buy stock with it
