Quarterly benchmark refresh - Q2 2025
What’s new?
We have updated salary, total cash compensation, and equity benchmarks for all job areas and specializations across both valuation and headcount based peer groups. We have also added benchmarks for 5 new specializations:
- Sales Operations
- HR Operations
- Demand Generation
- Business Intelligence & Analytics
- Onboarding & Implementations
These new benchmarks are available for post-money valuation and capital raised peer groups. Benchmarks based on headcount for these roles, as well as notional equity value benchmarks, will be included in a future release
Benchmark Trends
In aggregate, salary and total cash compensation benchmarks are slightly higher than our last release, increasing by about 1%. These increases were consistent across all valuation peer groups and levels. Similar to previous updates, specialization level data continues to change more than the broader sample, as sample sizes for these roles are smaller than job area level data.
Equity benchmarks are increasing in aggregate, showing about a 1.5% increase versus last quarter. Similar to last quarter, increases are fairly tightly correlated with company valuation, with higher valuation benchmarks seeing the largest increases.
What were the largest areas of movement from these benchmarks?
Salary - Salary benchmarks for most job areas and specializations are within 2% of last quarter’s data. Legal and Office Management saw the largest increases versus last quarter
Equity - Equity benchmarks are generally within 5% of last quarter’s benchmarks. UX/Frontend Engineering and Manufacturing increased by more than 5%
