Yes and no - I dunno about you, but I’m not very interested in tech stocks as compensation right now. When the market is blowing up like it was last year? I’d totally agree with you.

I think it’s the other way around. People with grant dates from last year have worthless options now. Getting in low is how you actually make $

I'm not aware of any public companies still granting options. It's all RSUs.

From first hand experience they definitely are

  1. also confirmed untrue based on personal experience; and 2) even with RSUs, the number of shares you get is based on the stock price on the grant date regardless of when those shares vest. So if you had a grant date in 2021 at most tech companies you’re already fucked

There’s no other option though. Lots of companies peak the base pay - even for a VP or CEO at ~$200k, 300k in an extreme condition. The rest is just bonus and RSU which is hidden by this law

It’s not like Meta is compensating people with $600k TC to more cash now that the stock dropped. It’s take more RSUs or quit

It's industry standard. Netflix pays all cash as do most finance firms. Other than that, you're getting RSUs (if public) or options (if pre-IPO).
