Show HN: Engineering Offer Breakdown

https://engineer-offer-breakdown.pages.dev/
2•JoeCortopassi•1h ago
It's always a bit confusing trying to understand what each companies offer actually means for your total comp each year. I made a simple tool that lets you input the relevant info and gives you a visual breakdown of your total comp over the years. Static site, no backend slurping up data

Best part is the url updates in real time, so you can copy the url (or "Share this offer" button) to show someone else what an offer represents.

- If you're a recruiter, this is an easy tool to help a candidate understand your offer

- If you're asking a friend/mentor/spouse for advice, this is an easy way to give them context

Hope it's helpful!

This is super helpful. Not only does it help people understand how the system works but also this is invaluable for comparing offers. I always end up with a bunch of pencil scratch notes or if I’m really trying an excel sheet to compare offers.

I know sometimes we might only get one offer and you’re stoked about anything you get. However, I highly encourage everyone on the market to do what they can to have more than one offer. This has been the only way to truly have leverage while negotiating. I’ve also been surprised and joined a company that I thought was just going to give me leverage. Their offer was so much better and the team was a way better match for my skills and personality.

Feature Request: Add the ability to compare multiple offers and show a side by side comparison. Or maybe the ability to export to a CSV so people can do this themself.

Another feature request: add ability to compare their offer to offers on levels.fyi so they can know if they have room to negotiate.

Yeah, it really came from scratching my own itch in wanting a quicker/easier way to think through different companies offers. They always present them in slightly different ways

I really like the idea of a side by side comparison. I'll build that out next!
