I've used Nerdwallet's free tool before. It's simple but you also want to look up the standard of living and other things like crime before you pull the trigger on any move.

Thanks, that’s a good point!
I estimated the “incremental salary” I would need with nerdwallet last night and I was shocked! That’s why I wanted to see if there are any other tools out there I should use to compare the results.

I usually do a comparison between Glassdoor and levels.fyi. Averaging them out tends to be pretty accurate.

This is what I usually do as well!

Bankrate has a good program as well, however NerdWallet has been the best I’ve seen.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
