I didn't get that stock was part of that equation. I took it as base salary. SV is an outlier, really wish people would stop talking as though that's a universal amount, and that if you don't make that amount then you're not senior. I lived in SV and it's a disgustingly money-oriented culture.
To break into the 1% in SV - you need to make $3.6mil/yr. Just let that sink in. It's a very rich place.
