Anomymize all data entered

Yes No

Anonymizing the compensation data means:

Company name is only displayed if at least 3 people in the same country, from the same company submit compensation details. Until then, a generic description like "🔒 Series B startup" will be displayed. See an example of company anonymization here
The position title you entered is only displayed if at least 3 people in the same country, with the same title, from the same company share compensation details. Until then, a generic description like "🔒 Tier-level role, software engineering" is displayed instead of e.g. "Senior Frontend Engineer". See an example of position anonymization here
Manual review happens before the data is published. Information that might help pinpointing the person sharing the compensation might be removed or changed during this review.

Important: the exact numbers you enter will be anonymized to avoid your current or past employers to "backtrack" to you.

Please share equity details:

Equity value

Currency

Does the equity value include stock appreciation?

Stock appreciation means the value of the equity has gone significantly up (or down) from when you were awarded. For example, if you were awarded 25/year stock when joining for 4 years, but the stock price went up 4x and now you're vesting €100K/year, the €100K/year figure includes stock appreciation.
This information can help others assess if this is a type of compensation that can be realistic to negotiate for when joining a similar company.
