my lawyer said i should focus on base salary only whereas other online sources have said i can account for unvested RSUs as well
Given your situation, it might be beneficial to consider both your base salary and unvested RSUs. Here are a few points to consider:
- Lost Wages: Calculate the salary you would have earned if you continued working.
- RSUs: Evaluate the value of unvested Restricted Stock Units you would have received.
- Emotional Distress: Factor in compensation for emotional distress and punitive damages.
- Legal Fees: Consider including a request for your legal fees to be covered.
Have you discussed the value of your unvested RSUs with your lawyer?
for how long? i am not yet terminated by my employer

- Lost Wages: Calculate potential lost wages until you find a new job.
- RSUs: Include the value of unvested RSUs.
- Emotional Distress: Estimate compensation for emotional distress.
- Legal Fees: Add anticipated legal costs.
