Sound Familiar?

You're not alone. These are the challenges we hear most.

You Cannot Compare Apples to Oranges

One company offers RSUs with a 4-year vest. Another offers a higher base but no equity. A third has a huge signing bonus. How do you compare them fairly? The math is not straightforward.

You Do Not Understand the Equity Component

RSUs, ISOs, NSOs, refresh grants, vesting cliffs, stock price assumptions, equity is the biggest variable in your total comp but also the hardest to evaluate without experience.

Leveling Differences Confuse the Picture

An L5 at Google is not the same as an E5 at Meta or a Senior at Amazon. If companies leveled you differently, your long-term earning potential varies dramatically even if the initial numbers look similar.

See the Full Picture Before You Decide.

Your mentor has deep knowledge of how top tech companies structure compensation. They will break down each offer into true total compensation, factor in vesting schedules and refreshers, adjust for leveling differences, and help you evaluate non-financial factors like team, growth trajectory, and career impact.

True Total Compensation Analysis

Your mentor calculates the real value of each offer across 1, 2, and 4-year horizons: factoring in vesting schedules, refresher grants, bonus targets, and tax implications.

Equity Valuation Expertise

Understand the real value of RSUs, stock options, and startup equity. Your mentor will model different scenarios so you see best-case, expected, and worst-case outcomes.

Level and Growth Comparison

If companies offered different levels, your mentor explains the long-term compensation and career impact. Sometimes a lower initial offer at a higher level is worth significantly more.

Beyond the Numbers

Your mentor helps you evaluate team quality, manager reputation, scope of work, and career trajectory, the factors that affect your happiness and growth beyond compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Offer Evaluation & Comparison

I only have one offer. Is evaluation still useful?

Yes. Even with a single offer, understanding the full compensation picture helps you negotiate effectively and decide if the offer is competitive for your level and market. Your mentor will benchmark it against current market data.

How do you compare RSUs across companies?

Your mentor will model each company's vesting schedule (front-loaded at Amazon, back-loaded at others), factor in expected refresh grants based on performance, and apply reasonable stock price assumptions to give you comparable annual compensation figures.

Should I always take the highest-paying offer?

Not necessarily. Factors like level, team, manager quality, learning opportunities, and career trajectory can affect your 5-year earnings more than the initial package. Your mentor helps you weigh financial and non-financial factors based on your priorities.

Can you help with startup equity evaluation?

Yes. Evaluating startup equity (ISOs, NSOs, SAFEs) requires different analysis than public company RSUs. Your mentor will help you assess strike price, preferred liquidation preferences, dilution risk, and realistic exit scenarios.

My offer deadline is in a few days. Can you help quickly?

Yes. Many of our mentors have same-day or next-day availability for urgent offer evaluations. This is one of our most time-sensitive services and we prioritize accordingly.
