recruiter: "the total compensation for this role is 280-320k"
actual offer: 190k base + 80k RSUs vesting over 4 years = 210k/yr
"but if you include the full 4 year RSU grant its 320k!"
BRO. nobody counts TC by adding 4 years of RSUs together. thats not how compensation works. stop lying.

the 4-year total thing is such a scam. amazon does this too. "1.2M total compensation!" yeah over 4 years with a 5/15/40/40 vesting schedule so year 1 is actually 170k

always ask "what is the ANNUALIZED total compensation" not "what is the total compensation." forces them to give you the yearly number
