Software engineering salaries

**CTC Breakdown: Base vs. Stocks Confusion?** I\u0027ve had this doubt for a long time about the CTC (Cost to Company) figure. Since I\u0027m a student and not yet a working professional, I\u0027m a bit unclear on this...😅 I understand that CTC is the total cost the company spends on you. But I was wondering how it\u0027s actually distributed in terms of salary and stocks. For example, if the CTC is 60 lakhs with a base salary of 20 lakhs and 40 lakhs in stocks, equally vested over 4 years, how would the payout look? Would it follow something like Option 1 or Option 2? **Option 1:** 1st year: 20 L base + 10 L stocks = 30 LPA 2nd year: 20 L base + 10 L stocks = 30 LPA 3rd year: 20 L base + 10 L stocks = 30 LPA 4th year: 20 L base + 10 L stocks = 30 LPA **Option 2:** 1st year: 20 L base + 10 L stocks = 30 LPA 2nd year: 20 L base + 10 L (1st year stocks) + 10 L (2nd year stocks) = 40 LPA 3rd year: 20 L base + 10 L (1st year stocks) + 10 L (2nd year stocks) + 10 L (3rd year stocks) = 50 LPA 4th year: 20 L base + 10 L (1st year stocks) + 10 L (2nd year stocks) + 10 L (3rd year stocks) + 10 L (4th year stocks) = 60 LPA **Which one of these scenarios is more accurate? Would appreciate any insights!**

Currently working in one of the big 4 and have 6 years of experience in .Net + Azure (web development). Went through Microsoft interview drive on 10th May and cleared all rounds. Recruiter is working on rolling out the job offer. Got to know that the role is for Hyderabad location and the team is 'Windows Agility Team'. Worried about getting backend development instead of backend services. Can anyone suggest what is 'Windows Agility Team'? What are the chances of getting backend development in this team? Once the offer is released, can I request recruiter to change my team as per my interest?
