A comment on Some Apple engineers rewarded up to $180k in stock bonuses as incentive to stay. Parent comment
But total compensation is likely higher than you mentioned.
You have an initial grant that vests over 4 years that currently is absurdly high - usually more than your base (after appreciation).
Then you have 4 of the grants that stack each year. Plus your 15-25% cash bonus.
Plus you usually get a couple small ($1-$5k) bonuses throughout the year for the projects you're working on.
FAANG salaries are no joke. Especially Google and FB.
