Frequently Asked Questions
How do I compare job offers with different compensation structures?
Look at total compensation including base salary, bonus, stock options, benefits, and factor in commute costs. This calculator shows the 5-year value of each offer.
Should I choose higher base salary or more stock options?
It depends on company stage and your risk tolerance. Stock options at a startup carry more risk but potentially higher reward. Established companies offer more stable compensation.
How much does commute cost really matter?
Commute costs include fuel, vehicle wear, and your time's opportunity cost. Over 5 years, a longer commute can cost ₹10-15 lakhs in total value when you factor in time.
