Questions
- Why look at four years instead of one?
- Equity usually vests over four years and raises compound, so the offer that pays more in year one is not always the one worth more by year three. The chart shows the year the other one catches up, if it does.
- How should I value equity?
- Start at full paper value, then slide the equity weight down to see how much the decision depends on it. If the answer flips at 50%, the choice is really a bet on the company.
- What does the per-hour figure count?
- Four-year value divided by a standard 1,880 working hours a year plus your commuting hours. It shows what the commute costs in time.
