Traject vs Levels.fyi
What Levels.fyi is for
Levels.fyi aggregates real tech salaries (base, bonus, equity) by company, level and location. A must to prepare negotiations at Google, Meta, Stripe or any scale-up. Data is self-reported but verified and anonymised by current or former employees, which makes it the most credible source on FAANG and US unicorns.
What Levels.fyi does well
- Total compensation (base, bonus, equity) by company.
- Level mapping across Google, Meta, Amazon and more.
- Employee-verified, anonymised data.
- City-by-city comparator with cost of living.
- Filter by seniority, years of experience and stack.
How Traject goes further than Levels.fyi
Levels.fyi gives you raw per-company data, mostly US-focused. Traject crosses it with your profile and your real market: what you can realistically target by role, seniority and geography (France, US, UK), inside a dedicated dashboard. You see your target band, the gap with your current salary, and a negotiation pitch calibrated on your real numbers, not just a big raw table. Plus all the freelance day-rate data Levels does not cover.
