About the data

We're showing base salary only in our salary ranges. Employers also offer equity (stock options, RSUs), annual bonus, signing bonus, relocation package, and other benefits or additional cash compensation - which often add up to a substantial fraction of total compensation. However, it's disingenuous to compare these non-salary components on a single axis, and we advise candidates individually on these tradeoffs when comparing their offers.

Most online salary data is suspect due to self-reporting and selection bias. In contrast, we aggregate figures from all offers made to software engineers on Triplebyte in real-time.

Engineers are at a fundamental disadvantage in salary and equity negotiations. They always know less than their hiring manager. We believe this is unfair.

Companies hiring through Triplebyte are incentivized to give competitive best offers because they know our engineers are likely to get many offers at the same time, and we provide one-on-one guidance to help you negotiate with multiple companies at once.
