We guarantee our coaching will help you increase your offer's total compensation by at least $10,000 for our Standard package, $15,000 for our Premium package, or $40,000 for our Leadership package. If we don't exceed that threshold, then you'll be eligible for a full refund of your fee! Typically our outcomes are much higher than this guarantee.

For Premium and Leadership clients, we will only use the offer you end up accepting.

For Standard clients, you do not need to accept the offer to be eligible for the refund if we do not meet our guarantee. Please note that we do not guarantee an increase if you're considering a new-grad / student programs offer or if you're considering a contract-to-full-time / intern-to-full-time conversion offer. If you decide not to move forward after taking the initial call, you may not be eligible for a full refund. View more information about our guarantee on our Terms of Service.

You can book before you have an offer. Our coaches will prep you for recruiter conversations so you're ready when it arrives.

Before your first session: if you don't end up having your first session, you'll get a full refund.

After a session: if you don't end up getting any offers, we'll refund everything except a small fee to compensate coaches for their time: $100 for Standard, $150 for Premium, and $250 for Leadership.

Full details are in our Terms of Service, and you can request a refund here.

Have any other questions about how it works? Just shoot us an email at services@levels.fyi.

As early as you can. Negotiations can start in that first recruiter phone screen, so being prepared to handle any compensation-related questions from the beginning will set you up for success down the line.

We can help, but we cannot make any guarantees on the success and generally try to avoid it altogether unless your situation warrants it. Leveling is most often determined by your experience and your interview performance. If a company is set on your level, it can be difficult to negotiate. If you have a unique situation and want to see if we can help your leveling negotiations, please email us at services@levels.fyi and our team can determine if we'd be able to help.

If you follow the guidance of our coaches, your offer will not get rescinded by trying to negotiate. Even companies that do not negotiate offers still expect you to negotiate! Our coaches have a wide range of experience across multiple industries and companies of all sizes, so we'll be able to evaluate and guide you on the best way to approach it with no risk of a rescinded offer.

Standard Package: If you anticipate a single offer, whether from a public or late stage tech company or a startup (Seed-Series D+), this is the perfect package for you.

Premium Package: If you have or expect multiple offers, choose this package. Our coaches will help you leverage your offers against each other to maximize your total compensation.

Leadership Package: If you're a Director, VP, SVP, or C-Suite executive, this is the package for you.

If you've already accepted an offer or made an attempt to negotiate on your own, we aren't as likely to be successful. We suggest booking sooner, rather than later.

We hear often from people that decided not to go with us and then come to regret it later on. Our service offers a guarantee and we can't help salvage your negotiations if you've already made a slight slip up as a result. Even a small increase in your yearly salary can have a massive impact on your retirement and lifetime earnings. It's up to you whether you'd like to leave it to chance.

Recruiters negotiate weekly and can put even advanced negotiators in a corner. Our coaches have seen it all and have been on the other side of the table. Sneaky tactics like bluffing, anchoring you, ignoring you, etc. - we know how to deal with it. The second eye of our expert negotiators can ensure you truly leave nothing on the table and to chance.
