  No shares in n years. Cold hard cash. Unusual at mid to high tier level in tech

  No stock/bonus/etc. Basically no contingent salary, just flat out “you made 700k total with bonus/stock? You base salary is 700k.”

  Most tech compensation is stock - nobody in the industry ever asks about salary, they ask about total comp. A full-cash offer means their salary is massive instead of split between salary and stock.

  A full-cash value is almost always a way better deal. There are obviously exceptions where the stock skyrocketed, but that is not particularly common.

  I bet they mean that they are offering cash bonuses to sign instead of restricted stock
