Shouldn't this have a field for the salary you make at the startup?
Any guess what the compensation is like for these positions ?
Would be nice to see the total comp salary distribution for this kind of position.
"salary" != "total compensation"
I'd love to see this for salaries.
Thanks for including the salary!
Why don't you just post the salary
Care to share the salary range?
You're a salary discovery platform that chose not to post the salary range of the job(s) you're offering?
Would be interesting to know how well they pay for this job.
