What You Can Do

You can assess whether your compensation packages are competitive in the current market by comparing base salary, bonus targets, equity grants, and total benefits against peer company data. The skill identifies pay band drift, flags retention risks, and generates specific adjustment recommendations to improve offer acceptance rates and reduce turnover exposure for roles from individual contributors to senior leadership.

Features

Offer competitiveness scoring

calculates percentile positioning (25th, 50th, 75th) against market data for base, bonus, and equity

Pay band alignment analysis

detects misalignment between current bands and market rates, with adjustment recommendations

Equity valuation comparison

contextualizes stock grants and options against peer companies at the same level

Total rewards articulation

quantifies and communicates the full value of benefits, 401(k) matching, PTO, and non-cash perks

Retention risk flagging

identifies compensation gaps that could expose hires to poaching within 12-24 months

Internal equity audit

compares similar roles across departments to surface pay inconsistencies and defend compensation decisions

Counteroffer strategy

generates data-backed counter-proposals when competing for passive talent

Band design recommendations

provides evidence-based salary ranges and equity ladders for new role levels

Example Output

Example 1: Offer Competitiveness Score

  • Base salary: 65th percentile ($165K vs. market median $152K) ✓
  • Bonus target: 48th percentile (15% vs. peer average 18%) — FLAG for adjustment
  • Equity: $800K over 4 years = 72nd percentile for Senior Engineer
  • Overall score: 62nd percentile. Recommendation: Increase bonus target to 18% or equity to $950K to reach 70th percentile.

Example 2: Pay Band Misalignment

  • Current L4 band: $140K–$180K
  • Market data (2024): $155K–$210K
  • Gap identified: 15% underpayment at midpoint
  • Action: Adjust band to $165K–$220K; rebase 8 employees currently below 40th percentile.

Example 3: Retention Risk Alert

  • Offered comp: 55th percentile; below-market equity vesting schedule
  • Risk: High likelihood of departure within 18 months to higher-paying competitor
  • Recommendation: Front-load 50% of equity or add $25K signing bonus to reduce risk to 20%.
