Teesee is a simple web application that allows you to visualize and compare total compensation packages. They can be confusing to understand and compare: multiple parameters, different vesting schedule, different benefits, etc.

Ultimately, every package is different but they usually all follow a common structure and use the sameingredients.Teesee breaks it down into into several parts (note that most of them are not mandatory):

• Base salary: this is a cash amount that you will receive every month.
• Benefits: this is your health insurance, 401k match, paid time-off, your freewhatever. It is not cash but still has a monetary value that can vary quite a bit across companies.
• Sign-on bonuses: this is a fixed cash amount that usually gets unlocked over the year (every month for example, or one payment after signing the contract). Packages can include several of those (for year 2 for example).
• Initial stock grant: this is not a cash amount, but a number of shares that will vest over a period of time. The vesting schedule differs from company to company.
• Performance cash: this is a cash amount that is usually indexed on your performance for the past year and also depends on the level you were operating at. It usually happens once every year.
• Performance stock refresher: this can be another part of the performance rewards. It comes as a stock grant with a vesting schedule that can be different from the initial stock grant. This also usually happens every year.

HopefullyTeesee help you out visualize and take better decisions for your own short/long term professional career.
