I still don't understand how they're defining total compensation. Federal taxable wages, like what shows up on your W-2? Or the amount you're promised including RSUs, regardless of vesting schedule?


Salary (W2 before tax) + bonus + promised RSUs.

It's not an unreasonable way to calculate it, and given the way the economy has been going in the past 10 years, it's lowballing the real taxable compensation.


A W2 includes bonus and RSU vest though...


Yup, my bad. So definitely not what's on the W2.


Typically it would be base salary, bonus, and the value of RSUs vesting over the next 12 months. I'd guess this is about the same as W-2 income?
