Grapevine salary update

Happy Friday Grapeviners, TL;DR: We are launching our biggest product since Grapevine itself. We’ve worked really really hard on this one. Salaries is now live as the ‘middle tab’ on the Grapevine app Why we built this: Getting paid is one of the main reasons why we work, and our goal with Grapevine was always to solve for information asymmetry With this we set out to make a product with the following principles at its core: 1. Make Salary information visual 2. Focus on freshness 3. Bring out the story behind the data 4. Help people assess their own salaries v/s global data Two requests: 1. Please give us feedback on how we can improve 2. Please please please share this with your friends, network and followers Enough of me. Now go check it out :)

1. Request to grapevine team: please allow selecting all options for every filter. What's the point of allowing maximum 3 options? 2. Today there's suddenly a LOT of data points compared to 2 days ago. Did a large bunch of people add their salaries in these couple of days?

I see salaries feature on Grapevine from a long time is dead, it doesn't have list of proper roles or companies and not very intuitive in showing details for the mass. Plus roles in finance, tech, etc and not available and all goes under operations, etc. Since request to grapevine team to either remove it completely or improvise it to a level of being helpful.

Hi, everyone! I was wondering how the salaries feature works on Grapevine. What is the source of the information? Can anyone explain? Thanks!

It’s been close to 10 days since we announced Salaries (beta) on Grapevine. This little baby product has gotten good traction, so we want to give it more love and develop it into something deep, and helpful Since launch, more than 10,000 people have used the product, and 4000+ have contributed their salary information anonymously :) We are working on making the product even better and make more data points available as we go. Thanks all for using, giving feedback. and sharing with friends/colleagues :)

Checking to see if there are any legal persons here on grapevine (in addition to gallivanting and spreading the cheer on LinkedIn lol).

Please make it possible. Not everyone is in the same company for 6 consecutive months and also even my 6 months have passed, still not able to update it. The salary ranges in the graph are also not very good in order to compare. But please first let me update my salary card

Lol! The support team of Grapevine does not respond at all. It's been 2 weeks. :D So, I could not think of any other way than post here.

Pardon me for being so naive here. I want to understand this new type of startup trend. 1. What’s the source of motivation for their employees to stick to their jobs? 2. How do apps like these think of monetizing? There is no ad, no paid feature per say. 3. Grapevine has probably built some kind of a platform. But how is this different from platforms like twitter, facebook or any other social media platform? 4. How much money do you think has been invested into building apps like this? 5. The DAU of this app based on my wild guess must be around 5K. I may be completely wrong here. 6. What according to you is the current valuation of grapevine? 7. Saumil Tripathi, the founder of grapevine is ex-google employee as per his LinkedIn profile. There is no mention of any other any other startup he owns. 8. Grapevine has a team of 10 employees (as per Saumil’s post a few weeks back) How do these guys make money? I’m awestruck by the guys working in grapevine. Building an app of this quality with no monetization in sight! Pounce on this thread with your thoughts guys!

I work for a Series A start-up in Bangalore. I have 5 YOE and my current base is 21 LPA and ~5L worth of ESOPs a year. Seeing Grapevine salary charts, I feel I might be underpaid. Should I negotiate or look for other opportunities or is the base I am getting now alright?
