How to assess/discount stock comp

In the late stages for a role at one of the publicly-traded managers that provides significant stock as a part of comp (3-5 year vest). Curious how you guys look at that component of comp. Carry is volatile, could be 0, and thus should be discounted heavily - but not the case for stock (unlikely that ARES/OWL/KKR/CG, etc will go to 0).

Will depend on the details / the specific firm/team, but disregarding carry, if presented with, say, a $550k cash offer and $450k cash + X stock offer...how much would X need to be for the latter offer to be breakeven?
