Does RSU also be considered while negotiating when switching.

What is a reasonable ask while negotiating with startups? Should I ask for a match or hike of X% over my TC/annum (52lk Base + 8lk Bonus + Rs30lk RSUs), or should I negotiate only over the Cash (Base + Bonus) component? A startup I’m negotiating with is not considering the RSUs I have and is offering a 8% hike only on the cash component, and is throwing in ESOPs (paper money) instead. What do I do?

Hi GV'ers, I wanted some help with understanding how RSUs should be calculated in the CTC, especially when looking to switch to another company. Here's my thing: On joining, I was allotted ~30k USD worth of RSUs to be vested over 4 years. ¼ after completing 1 year, then equally distributed over every quarter. Now, the 30k USD was converted to units immediately, and now the units have tripled in price. Now, does that mean my effective CTC is the base + original price of RSUs for 1 year, or should I consider the updated price? Should I only consider what has been vested so far only, then divide by YoE? What about other RSU grants for later years? I have received an additional 10k, over 4 years, again in my second year, and again in my 3rd year. I'm planning to stay for 4 years for the original vesting schedule to complete, as the other RSU grants didn't give high enough units to make me stay. There's also 7(+5)L health insurance that's tied here as part of other benefits, but nothing else is monetary, if that helps.

Had a question, in terms of negotiation, is it easy to negotiate offer if you have the rsu component too. What if the offer only have cash component. Is that also negotiable.

Hi, I have been working in the Software Industry for the past 9 years. I feel like I have made a good use of my time and money and maybe some of my lessons can help you folks as well. Recently did a calculation for my NW and I am happy and proud to see my NW crossing 2CR+. I have 0 debt and do not own a house. Here is how my portfolio look like TC: 1.3 Cr YOE: 9 I am happy to do an AMA. Ask me anything about tech, career, love, marriage, money management, therapy, songs and movies. #Ask Me Anything #ama #amazon #atlassian #google #startups #bengaluru #networth #money management #finance #india Sorry if delay in responses, I'll answer all your questions eventually.

Background: I have around 7 years of experience. Right now doing WFH from tier-2 city and staying with family (Married so wife + my parents). My current job is good but politics and bad manager came into picture. I applied to few jobs and got an offer. Current Situation: The offer I got is WFO (hybrid) from Bangalore so I need to move. Increment in terms of cash is 12.5% (they dont want to push more). RSU is good and they vest in 1 year directly. I estimate that house I require near my office (Kadybeesanahalli) will cost around 50-60k and rest budget of 50-60k. So I will save around 1-1.5L (50% will go to MF, stock etc) Question: Is this a good decision to move and settle there ? New org is a reputable one and has stable job as of now Note: I am not including my wifes salary as she still needs to search a job

Note: 1.1. The vested RSUs given by the employer are mentioned under the nature of perquisites in Form 16. The tax is already paid for it and mentioned in Form 16 as well. The same info is reflected on the ASI website. 1.2. None of the vested RSUs were sold historically. 1.3. No dividend income comes from the vested RSUs. My doubts 2.1. For this case, do we need to disclose vested RSUs in Schedule FA form in ITR2? 2.2. If I need to disclose them, I did not know about this and filed ITR1, which was processed for the last financial year. I am yet to file for this financial year. Can I disclose all the vested RSUs from 2022 and 2023 in the current FY 2023-2024 filing? Other Annoyances 3.1. There is a conflict among CAs as well. Some CAs say we need to disclose only when selling and not while holding, as taxes for that are already paid. Other CAs say we need to disclose even if we are holding and even if taxes are paid. 3.2. If the holdings are required to be disclosed, I wish the tax portal could throw an error in the UI if trying to submit the ITR without disclosing Schedule FA. As the IT Department has access to our Form 16, the IT portal can extract data from Form 16, check if it has RSUs mentioned, determine if the stock of the company is listed on a US stock exchange, and mark the Schedule FA form as mandatory. I don't think it is very complicated to implement this feature.

I am a 2023 grad. I joined a startup but it is asking me to look for new opportunities. I interview at Zeta and recieved an offer. I also have an offer from Service Now. Current compensation: 21 TC (16 base) Zeta : 17 TC(16 base) not ready to increase even after counter offer Service Now: 23 TC(15 base) Hear lot of bad things about zeta like silent layoffs, 0% hike this year and we need to go to office 5 days a week where as it is hybrid at service now. Zeta has better learning and that is the only upside of it. Would love to hear some feedback.

I have around 2 years of experience. 1) 10 months in pervious company with 6 month internship and 4 month full time. 2) 1 year 1 month in current company. I recently applied for a company and was offered an MTS role. ( 18 cash, 50 private RSUs + additional benefits) Total CTC is approximately 34 LPA The offer sounds overwhelmingly good based on current market standards but when I checked company’s stock price in secondary markets, they are worth less than 50% of what was quoted by the recruiter. Right now I am a bit skeptical on the stock price as the company has not yet gone public but they plan to in next couple of years. Not sharing company and personal details for obvious reasons.
