// Forensic Career Compensation Intelligence  ·  The Arbiter
// Forensic Prologue

A higher salary is not a better offer. Equity vesting, 401(k) match, signing bonus amortization, and benefit value can swing the real number by tens of thousands per year. This engine computes the true total compensation for both your current role and the new offer — apples to apples, after the spin. Input your variables. The Arbiter renders the verdict.

01
Input Both Offers
Base salary, bonus, equity grant, 401(k) match, and benefits value for current and prospective roles.
02
Adjust for Risk
Equity gets a probability haircut. The Arbiter does not assume RSUs vest at full value.
03
Await Verdict
Total comp is calculated, compared, and the winner declared. The truth is rarely the bigger headline number.
