If you or anyone you know are applying to jobs at startups - let us help you negotiate with real data.
We call it Friend at Carta - here's how it works:
1. You visit carta dot com / friend
2. Enter in a little information about the role you're applying for, including the department (like marketing or sales), the level (entry, manager, director), the location of the startup, and the current valuation (is this company worth $10M or $500M?)
3. Click Get My Band
4. Walk away with comp data specific to your role, level, location, and valuation. Includes low / med / hi values for salary and equity
Pretty simple. We want to make sure that all startup job seekers feel prepared as they walk into those final candidate meetings.
And if you're a founder, feel free to use this for a role you're hiring for—but know that we have much more for you if you'd like access to the full compensation intelligence tool. It's Carta Total Compensation and it's pretty awesome.
Hiring across private startups has been lackluster in 2024, but there are signs that the end of the year may see some increased hiring activity. So for all the job seekers out there - keep at it!
