### Comment:
stock comp seems high. $100k in options is only worth something if the price goes up. That really muddies things.

### REPLY:
So most companies best on four years but include 10-15% Year over year growth in the total comp.  all of these comps are usually assuming you hold all stock until the end of the vesting period after 4 years which in theory should be 40-60% more.  If the stock doesn’t perform that well they will issue more shares.  So you can see how it wouldn’t be that hard working at amazon or Apple to have some insane compensation.
