I was very confused until I realized the link doesn't match the title at all.<p>The title of this submission is linked to this url:<p><a href="https://topstartups.io/startup-salary-equity-database/" rel="nofollow">https://topstartups.io/startup-salary-equity-database/</a><p>(though the actual title there is "Startup Salary & Equity Database")<p>Otherwise you do not get any salary/equity information. You get links to who works here (LinkedIn), reviews (GlassDoor), company web sites and jobs (Lever).<p>The title of the linked submission is "Top Startups 2022 - Funded by Sequoia, A16Z, Y Combinator"
The equity (%) without the actual cash value of the options is basically a vanity number - it does not mean much and is not comparable between the companies.
The "problem" (if it is a problem and not an intentional choice) is that these equity compensation comparison things are heavily skewed towards US companies.<p>Often inferring the company to be $ or requiring you to add a "State" (which is a US thing primarily, often it's a pre-filled dropdown).<p>Any chance of at least this one being a bit more wide reaching?<p>I think levels.fyi is a much stronger implementation of the same concept if it's only US based.
UI feedback: all the tags on the page need to be clickable, taking me to searches with that filter applied (e.g., "Crypto", "Logistics", "Y Combinator", etc).
The main thing I'd want to know is whether companies pay to appear in the Top Startups list. I learned Breakoutlist does this a few years back and it destroyed their credibility for me.
Odd to see a bunch of 1-10 sized startups have director and vp of engineering roles. I’m assuming there is a CTO at those companies as well but I would have expected efficient team comp for that size to be one CTO 1 CEO 1 CPO one or two sales/marketing and rest engineers
What is BizOps? I noticed a lot of the non-technical roles here have that title. I've read wildly varying definitions ranging from Strategy to KPI management and data analytics, has the industry settled on a relatively consistent definition?
interesting idea, but with something like this it's important to keep it up to date and even browsing for a couple of minutes I noticed entries that are outdated either because the startup has been acquired, or raised a load more funds than are listed on the site.
Why do I care about their funding besides the point of whether they can pay me?<p>Recruiters do this all the time -<p>"Hey, here's a great position with a unicorn that just solidified another 100m in funding. But here's your below market offer. "
I guess there's some value to a listing of salary/equity figures without the associated company, but it would be far more valuable if the company were included. One thing I really like about levels.fyi is that their comp data streamlines my job search process. E.g., get pinged by a recruiter from a company where comp is 75% of my current comp -- hard pass. Get pinged by a recruiter from a company where comp is 150%+ of my current comp -- perhaps we'll chat. Without that data, it's awfully time-consuming to go through the process only to find that the comp numbers are a non-starter.
