GlassDoor and PayScale are great for general statistical research and "ballpark" analysis of offer information. But they're way less valid for the startup world, since equity grants are so wonky depending on stage, etc. Even within big companies, there is a ton of variance in terms of which orgs may be more or less generous, etc. tl;dr they are no good at saying what you should earn. Also, there is definitely a ton of salary and negotiation "advice" out there. But many of the people we work with, already tried reading it or talking to friends, etc. There is an enormous amount of stress and pressure at the last-mile, and a few essays in no way compare to someone with institutionalized knowledge actively working with you over Skype, coffee, or on the phone. One of the first ideas I had in the space was a better Glassdoor of sorts. I discarded it quickly. http://offerletter.io http://offerletter.io is, fundamentally, very different.
