My daily morning reminder.
I built a compensation database…
Specifically for Finance and Product employees at startups.
Why do this? Well, when interviewing for my last two roles I didn’t know how much I should be asking for. More specifically, I had zero idea how much equity to ask for. And I found it’s a common situation - companies have asymmetrical information (and reps) when it comes to compensation negotiation. And no employee is going to shell out $15,000 for a Mercer license.
So I took it into my own hands to build something for my peoples working at private tech companies (Seed through Series E). Here are the roles we have data on:
Within Finance:
Finance Associate, Finance Analyst, FP&A Analyst
Senior Finance Associate, Senior Finance Analyst, Senior FP&A Analyst
Finance Manager, FP&A Manager
Senior Finance Manager, Senior FP&A Manager
Finance Director, Director of Finance, FP&A Director
Senior Finance Director, Senior Director of Finance, Senior FP&A Director

Within Product:

Product Lead, Lead Product Manager, Group Product Manager
Product Director, Director of Product Management
