Compensation transparency
How we calibrate offers.
We benchmark against the $60K to $90K range with adjustments for tenure, geography, and equity stage. We do not lowball offers to win a close. If your target band is below market for Staff Accountant in US, we will tell you in the calibration call and offer the trade-off honestly: accept the band and a smaller pool of candidates, or adjust the band and reach the full pool.
