What's your salary approach?

The little story behind our salary grid

Every time there's a new job ad ready to be posted, we ask ourselves the same question: should we share the salary range? (Seems familiar right? 😄)

At folk, we decided we'd rather share our salary grid than a raw number so you can fully grasp our approach and easily project yourself.

💁
While building our salary approach, we chose to make it simple and fully aligned with the team experience we're building. We've built our transparent salary grid to show what we value: the impact every team member is bringing to the team.

Salary made simple.

Salary = "Role category" x "Impact"

Our salary approach focuses on two variables:

  • Impact: What matters is the level of accountability and impact you'll have within the team. We believe management paths are as valuable as individual contributors’ path to folk.
  • Description of each Level of impact (Contributor, Owner, Expert, Lead or Principal #1 - #2 - #3)
    Description of each Sub-Level (New, Established, Moving up, Thriving)
  • Role Category: GTM, People, Product, Design, Tech
