Weird
How insightful 🙄

A 1.5% match capped at 7% is... unique. For context, the tech industry standard is usually a 50% match up to 6% (effectively 3% from the company) or a dollar-for-dollar match up to 4%. A 1.5% match is definitely on the lower end for 2026. It sounds like they’re offering the bare minimum to check a box rather than using it as a retention tool. Is the rest of the comp package (base/equity) high enough to offset that?
I thought your numbers had to be wrong. That makes a lot more sense. Seems decent to me.
What you said doesn’t make sense. It is 1.5% or 7%
Try again
This is pretty good, better than average.
I get a 100% match up to 6%, so that sounds really low to me. I haven't worked somewhere that does it the way that you are describing.
I meant to say 150% up to 7%
My brain was thinking I put 1%, they put 1.5% 🤦🏻
that sounds low to me. I have seen 5 to 10 percent at past companies
7% is in between 5 and 10 🤨
