For an Alibaba P8 offer, your stock quantity may not reach 3,200 shares in 4 years, but may be only 2,400 shares. However, if you were an Alibaba P8 three years ago, the number of options granted upon joining and the number of options awarded as performance rewards after that will definitely be more than 800 per year. Due to the superposition effect, by the third or fourth year after joining, the number of options in the hands of many P8s has far exceeded 800 shares. In this way, if a P8 has good performance, in his third year after joining, he is likely to get 1,500 or even more options, and the value of his options can reach more than 2 million, so his total salary package can easily exceed 3 million (Alibaba seems to like to give options that are divisible by 400, such as 2,400 shares, 2,800 shares, 3,200 shares, etc.).

In general, a new Alibaba P8 should have a salary of around 1.5-2 million yuan, but if it is a long-time Alibaba P8, or a P8 with good performance and performance options, it is not surprising to get a salary of 3-4 million yuan a year.
