What the posts show
Patterns we saw across the posts above. Each one comes from the rows, not from a survey.
- Pay splits into two markets. Associate roles at small or non-tech companies post ₹3–10 LPA; funded tech and AI startups asking for 2–5 years post ₹15–40 LPA.
- Bengaluru has the most posts (8 of 17), then Delhi NCR (4). Three are remote.
- Only 2 posts promise ESOPs outright and none states a percentage. One says “No equity”. Do not assume equity comes with the title.
- Only 2 posts split fixed from variable in numbers. When a range includes variable pay, the monthly in-hand comes from the fixed part only.
- Most posts give a wide range (₹10–30 LPA, ₹20–60 LPA). The role is defined by the founder, so pay follows the scope you can show, not a band.
Cross-check with self-reported pay
Job posts show what employers offer; self-reported data shows what people say they earn. The Founder's Office guide has both:
- India (posted ranges): 10 rows · Weekday.works and Y Combinator job posts
- US: Chief of Staff (closest US title): median $240K · Levels.fyi
How to negotiate a Founder's Office offer
What to ask for before you sign, based on how these posts are written.
- Ask for the fixed and variable split in writing. A ₹20–26 LPA CTC with ₹4–6 LPA variable pays like a ₹16–20 LPA job each month.
- If ESOPs are offered, ask for the number of options, the strike price, the vesting schedule and the latest valuation. A percentage without these cannot be valued.
- Anchor on scope. Bring one written example of a project you would own in the first 90 days; founders pay for ownership they can see.
- Agree a 6-month review in the offer letter. Founder’s Office roles change fast, and the review is where a generalist turns into a function lead.
