The Salary Analyzer gives you salary ranges by role, level, and location — plus exactly how to use the number in a negotiation. Build the case Backstage for free. When it's time to land the offer, a real strategist runs it for you.
One number, made defensible. Role, level, and location in — a range, a position in the band, and the language to negotiate it out.
Backstage is the free, self-serve layer — tools like the Salary Analyzer you run yourself, in a minute, to walk in prepared. The managed Career Concierge is the spotlight: a real person who finds the roles, runs the outreach, and — when the offer comes — benchmarks and negotiates it for you. Do a lot for free. Hand the hard part to a human.
Four steps, a minute of input, and you walk into the comp conversation with a range and a script instead of a shrug.
Start with the job you're targeting — title and function. The Analyzer maps it to a market band so you're comparing against the right roles, not a vague average across everything.
Seniority and geography move pay more than almost anything else. Dial both in and the range shifts to reflect what your level actually commands where you'll work — remote, hybrid, or on-site.
Get a low–mid–high range for that role, level, and location, and drop in a target or current number to see exactly where it sits in the band. No more guessing if you're underpaid or aiming too low.
A range is only useful if you can use it. The Analyzer hands you the framing — what to anchor to, how to justify it, and how to talk about the whole package — so the number works for you in the room.
Not a vague "average salary" — a defensible range for your exact role, level, and location, plus the negotiation framing to back it up.
Low, mid, and high for your role — adjusted for your seniority and where you'll work, not a national blur.
Drop in your current or target number and see instantly whether you're below, at, or above the market band.
Base is one line. We frame bonus, equity, and benefits so you weigh the whole package, not just the headline.
The language to anchor high, justify your ask, and talk comp with confidence — your worth, in words.
Honest about what's free and what isn't. Knowing your worth is free. Having someone benchmark and negotiate your actual offer is the managed service.
Everything you need to walk in informed — no card, no catch.

When there's a real offer on the table, a strategist runs the comp conversation.
Human-led · per-application & done-for-you on Pro+
The Analyzer tells you what you're worth. A Marqee strategist makes the market come to you — finding the roles, opening the side door with recruiter outreach and warm referrals, tailoring every application, and negotiating the offer when it lands. You prep Backstage; we put you on the marquee.
Yes. Looking up salary ranges by role, level, and location is free — and so is the negotiation framing that comes with your result. Like the rest of Backstage, our free self-serve career tools, most of it is free. A free account lets you save ranges and revisit them, and a Pro plan adds done-for-you comp strategy run by a real strategist.
The Analyzer blends role, seniority level, and location into an illustrative range, then shows where a target number sits within it. It's directional market context to help you anchor a conversation — a starting point for your own research, not a guarantee of any specific offer.
Free: salary ranges by role, level, and location, where your number sits in the band, and the negotiation framing to use it. A free account is required to save ranges and track them over time. Pro and above add done-for-you comp work — a real strategist benchmarks your specific situation, scripts the counter, and runs the negotiation alongside your managed search.
No, and no honest tool can. Compensation depends on the company, the team's budget, your interview signal, and your leverage. The Analyzer gives you a defensible range to anchor to and the language to negotiate well — it never guarantees an outcome.
Anchor to the top of a range you can justify, lead with the value you bring, and treat total compensation — base, bonus, equity, and benefits — as one package. The Analyzer hands you that framing; on a Pro plan, a Marqee strategist scripts your counter and runs the negotiation with you.
Knowing your worth is the Backstage prep. The managed service is the spotlight: a dedicated strategist finds the roles, runs recruiter outreach, tailors every application, and — when an offer lands — benchmarks it and negotiates on your behalf. You prep Backstage, then step into the spotlight.
The range is the prep. The managed search is the spotlight — a dedicated strategist finding the roles, running the outreach, and negotiating the offer, so you headline the marquee.
