💡 Comparison insight

The Multi-Offer Comparison

The Multi-Offer Comparison calculator runs a clean four-year total compensation comparison between two offers. You enter the base salary, four-year equity value, signing bonus, and annual benefits value for each. The calculator returns the winning offer, the dollar gap over four years, and a stacked breakdown of how each component contributes. Use it the day both offers are in writing. The point is to neutralize the headline-base bias that wrecks most decisions. A higher base with low equity often loses to a lower base with meaningful equity once you stretch to a four-year window, and equity-heavy private offers carry execution risk that does not show up in a side-by-side spreadsheet.
