Base is $145k. Signing bonus $50k year 1, $40k year 2. Stock 350 shares over 4 years. 5%/15%/40%/40% No promotions or reviews yet.
In summary: about $200k total comp first two years, from then on variable based on stock. I expect about $225 to $250k in 2016.
I had 15+ years of experience before coming here.
Competitive pay offer: $180k /year $50k signing bonus 15% bonus per year 800 RSUs vested equally over 4 years (200/year) 600 RSUs vested in 100-chunks every quarter for the first 18 months.
Counting up, in the first 12 months, pay is about $670,000.
I gotta get seriously bumped at the end of 18 months to keep it up, otherwise my pay will slip to $350,000.
And that is what a competitive offer from a company that values their employees looks like.
I have friends who have totally gotten the $1m RSUs/year for 4 year offers from both Google, Facebook and others. These positions exist.
It helps to change jobs a bunch :-)
