Trustband

This compensation search tool helps people compare pay across US jobs by company, role, and industry. It focuses on reported compensation rather than job listings or recruiter-provided salary pitches, with base salary and OTE shown separately so users can distinguish guaranteed pay from total on-target compensation.

The platform is useful for candidates, people changing jobs, and professionals comparing offers across roles such as Account Executive, Software Engineer, Product Manager, Machine Learning, Customer Success Manager, and others. Users can move from a broad company-level view to more specific comparisons by role, industry, and compensation range.

Key Features

Verified Compensation Reports

The platform prioritizes compensation reports that have been confirmed with a work email.

Verified entries rank above other reports, giving users a way to assess the source quality behind the compensation information they are viewing.

Base Salary & OTE

Base salary and on-target earnings are presented as separate figures.

This makes it easier to distinguish:

• Guaranteed base compensation
• Total on-target compensation
• The difference between fixed pay and performance-based earnings

The separation is particularly useful for comparing sales roles and other positions where OTE can differ substantially from base salary.

Company & Role Search

Search compensation information by employer and job type.

Users can explore pay for roles such as:

• Account Executive
• Software Engineer
• Product Manager
• Machine Learning
• Customer Success Manager
• Other professional roles

This allows candidates to compare compensation within a specific company or across employers hiring for similar positions.

Industry Filters

Explore compensation by industry and sector.

Available areas include:

• AI
• Robotics
• Quant
• Consumer
• Fintech
• Security
• Other industries

Industry-level filtering makes it easier to understand how compensation changes across different parts of the technology and business landscape.

Compensation Ranges & Typical Pay

The interface provides company compensation ranges alongside typical compensation figures.

This gives users a quick way to understand both the broader pay band and what compensation commonly looks like within the available reports.

Visible Seat Counts

Report volume is shown alongside compensation information.

Seeing the number of reports behind a figure gives users additional context when evaluating how much data supports a company's or role's compensation numbers.

Built For Job Seekers & Offer Comparisons

The platform is designed for people who need compensation information while evaluating career opportunities.

It can be useful for:

• Job candidates
• People changing roles
• Professionals comparing offers
• Sales candidates evaluating OTE
• Engineers researching company pay
• Product managers benchmarking compensation
• Candidates comparing industries
• Anyone researching US job compensation

Common Use Cases

Offer evaluation: Sanity-check a compensation package against reported pay for the same company and role.

Company comparison: Compare compensation ranges and typical pay between potential employers.

Role benchmarking: Understand how compensation differs between adjacent roles and career paths.

Industry research: Explore how pay changes across sectors such as AI, fintech, robotics, and security.

Sales compensation research: Compare base salary and OTE separately when evaluating sales positions.

Career planning: Research compensation expectations before pursuing a new role or negotiating an offer.

Reported Pay, Not Job Listings

The platform keeps its focus on compensation data rather than acting as another job board.

Instead of browsing open positions or recruiter pitches, users can search reported pay information and compare the numbers themselves. This makes the tool useful at a different stage of the job search, particularly when evaluating an offer or trying to establish a reasonable compensation benchmark.

Assessing Data Quality

Compensation figures can be more useful when users understand how much evidence sits behind them. The platform addresses this by placing verified work-email reports above other entries and showing report volume through seat counts.

Together, these signals help users distinguish between compensation figures supported by more reporting and numbers with less visible data behind them.

Why It Matters

Salary information is often difficult to compare because compensation can vary by company, role, industry, and pay structure. A headline number can also be misleading when base salary and variable compensation are combined.

This tool keeps those distinctions visible. By combining reported compensation, verified work-email submissions, separate base and OTE figures, company and role search, industry filters, compensation ranges, typical pay, and report counts, it gives candidates a more structured way to research what different roles actually pay.

Compare Compensation With Better Context

Research US job compensation by company, role, industry, base salary, and OTE, while keeping source quality and report volume visible. The platform provides a focused reference for candidates who want to benchmark offers, compare employers, and understand how compensation changes across roles and sectors.
