Personal Compensation Advisor
After hundreds of compensation conversations, I’ve seen how often people struggle to negotiate their own compensation.
Part of it is information: they may not know where the market is trending, how their offer compares, or how equity works.
But a lot of it is emotional. People are worried about damaging a relationship, haunted by a past negotiation that backfired, or still regretting that equity grant that went to zero.
It's hard to keep perspective, and even harder to find someone independent to talk it through with. After years on the company side, I'm stepping across the table.
Who I can help
Senior ICs, directors, or executives at venture-backed tech companies weighing questions like:
Should I ask for more, or am I already being paid fairly?
My base is low but my equity could be worth a lot. Should I stay?
Will I come across as difficult if I ask for more?
Why talk to me
- I know how the compensation sausage gets made: what's common practice, where startups have room, and what drives exceptions.
- I know the venture-backed tech market. I have a good pulse (and data!) on where it's moving.
- I have no stake in what you decide. My goal is to help you make a good decision and figure out how to approach the conversation.
