The cash compensation range we have provided has been benchmarked against similar organizations of a comparable size, sector and age. Our offers of employment take a variety of factors into consideration, including but not limited to, unique skill sets, specific expertise or certifications and business/organizational needs. We have not adjusted the range for differing geographical locations, which we take into consideration when building equitable offers. It is not typical for us to hire in talent at the top of the range for a role, in part because it’s so important to us to allow all Talentful employees the opportunity to develop over time, and to feel rewarded for doing so. A reasonable estimate of the OTE range for this role is 200-350k USD.
