What happens to RSU comp after vesting schedule

Question

So if someone's total comp is $200,000 and of that $100,000 is of stock per year for four years, what happens to their total compensation after four years? Do they just stop getting the $100k in stock so their TC just drops by half after 4 years?

Typically companies will issue stock grant renewals called refreshers. They'll have their own vesting schedules sometimes being over 2-3 additional years. Some companies have quite hefty refresher grants. It can also depend on your performance.

The folks I work with generally see an RSU grant appx equal to their bonus each year, vesting over 4 years. So after a while, you build up a healthy rolling set of vests. For the comp ranges you’re describing, it’d be typical to have four $25k+ grants built up by year 4, falling off successively over the next four years.
