$250K salary + RSUs? Or $250K total compensation?

Because the latter isn't that great with the COL in the Bay area. Also, if the company isn't already public... then forget about the RSUs!

$250k+ total comp.

Companies that offer high base tend to be lackluster on bonus and equity.

RSUs, if offered, are tradable in almost all cases. Options are vapor 90% of the time.

COL in Bay Area is not that much higher compared to TX, WA or CO.
