Yeah I think if you have somebody who is a classic "first engineering hire" and s/he grows into an engineering leader, each major promotion (to manager, director, vp) brings an opportunity for a rich follow-on, as well as a normal yearly grant. Now if somebody is particularly adept at negotiating and somehow take a full point out in their initial grant, you're probably right that incremental grants won't touch that value. But that is 2-4x what I've internalized as the norm.
