Joe, love reading all these posts! Thank you for sharing, Question for you - Does this philosophy change if the company is public traded? More specifically since a publicly traded company will have stock price changing through out the year, would you include a reps vesting stock that year into their All in Compensation?
The philosophy doesn't change much for me if the company is publicly traded. I think that stock as a form of compensation is one component of the all in comp than can be more advantageous for the company as it preserve cash. Having been part of many companies that have offered stock or stock options as a form of compensation my preference is to take the cash (from a rep perspective) every time. Potentially different if you are in a startup with plans for an exit.
