What do you mean "base"? Why so specifoc for only one part portion of your comp?

Cash is king. Stocks, bonuses, and RSU are never guaranteed.

RSUs (that are contractually part of your on hire compensation) in a publicly traded company are as good as cash. Just sell immediately when they vest.

What if your stock goes down?

Good thing you sold immediately when they vested.
