Frequently Asked Questions
Why discount equity?
Public RSU: ~70% face value (4-yr vest, tax). Pre-IPO options: 0-30% depending on stage. Most candidates over-weight equity 2-3×.
Is AI-vulnerability really part of comp decision?
In 2026: yes. A 20% raise into a job AI replaces in 3 years = career-net-negative. Career trajectory matters more than current salary delta.
How much does culture matter?
Hard to quantify but: bad culture costs 30-50% effective compensation. People leaving great-pay-bad-culture roles cite ~$30K hidden cost in well-being.
