While tech talents consider multiple factors when deciding which company to join, a better salary package ranks first among the reasons talent hunts for new possibilities (65%).
Top engineering leaders have also shared that one of the sure-est ways to attract top talents is to pay top dollars.
Thus, we compile this guide to help you understand which companies in the market are paying above market salary packages.
While we acknowledge that compensation packages are made up of several components like stocks, we will only be using the base salary for comparison to keep things simple.
Keep in mind that this compilation is not exhaustive! Check out NodeFlair Salaries to explore more salary submissions - verified with payslips and offer letters!
Note: The salary data are weighted averages from multiple verified submissions. Thus, the data might be different from what you see on NodeFlair Salaries due to new submissions by fellow engineers in the community from time to time!
