Assumptions & methodology
What any modelling for this decision relies on — always in the open, so you can judge the numbers.
- Total comp includes base, expected bonus, employer retirement match and benefits value.
- Offers are adjusted to the same cost-of-living basis where a location differs.
- Equity is valued at the terms you enter; future value is uncertain.
