I dropped out at 19 to take an engineering job at Roblox. I worked there four years.
The thing that kept getting me was watching how comp decisions actually got made — they
were guesses. The recruiter eyeballs a candidate, decides what they think they'll take,
writes the offer. The candidate negotiates against a number from leveling.fyi. Both
sides are guessing in the dark.
I left a year ago to fix it. The variable everyone is already estimating in their head
is wealth — which company you joined at what stage, whether your equity vested, what
cushion you're negotiating against. We make that estimate explicit and accurate, so the
offer reflects who's actually across the table.
If you've ever felt your offer was anchored against the wrong baseline, or paid out a
hire who flight-risked out three months later, that's the inefficiency we're closing.
