In anticipation of the year-end merit cycle reviews taking place at many startups, I’ve refreshed the famed Mostly metrics comp database for our readers. The goal is to arm you with the appropriate benchmarks to get the most out of your negotiations and “secure da bag”.

Employees are often at an information disadvantage in these types of negotiations, as employers have the luxury of paying for expansive reports, and also knowing what other people at the company make in a comparable position. I’d like to level the playing field a little bit.

Over the next nine weeks we’ll be reviewing benchmarks for positions across Finance and Product (two of our favorite operator groups who read this newsletter):

Within Finance we’ll cover:

  • Finance Associate / Finance Analyst / FP&A Analyst (TODAY!)

  • Finance Manager / FP&A Manager

  • Finance Director / Director of Finance / FP&A Director

  • VP of Finance

Within Product we’ll cover:

  • Associate Product Manager / Junior Product Manager (NEXT WEEK!)

  • Product Manager

  • Product Lead / Lead Product Manager / Group Product Manager

  • Product Director / Director of Product Management

  • VP of Product / Head of Product

Paid readers will get access to the reports for all of the positions above.
