Omna Search: Compensation Benchmarks 2023
Featuring comp across biz ops, chief of staff, and finance roles
Hi all,
For those of you new to the newsletter, we’re Omna Search! 👋 We’re a small team of 5 dedicated to helping fast-growing companies hire some of the best ex-consultants / bankers / operators in the field.
A few years ago, we started out as just 2 ex-McKinsey friends who decided to leave our corporate jobs to explore more entrepreneurial endeavors.
Today, we’ve helped over 100+ companies build out their teams … and we’re hoping this is just the beginning! We’re immensely grateful for all the support over the years, and excited for the year ahead.
— Juliette & the Omna team
Sharing: The Omna Search 2023 Compensation Guide
Each year, we collect compensation benchmarks from you to compile into our annual comp guide. The guide features benchmarks collected across 2023 for Strategic Finance, Business Operations, and Chief of Staff roles.
Overall guidance:
Startup compensation in 2023 was overall at parity / slightly weaker (-5-10%) than startup compensation reported in 2022
Salaries were highest in SF (the top paying market in the US), with NYC and Seattle not too far off
I’ve attached screenshots of comp data below; you can also find the full version available to download on our website here (yes, unfortunately it prompts you to submit your data to keep our little comp flywheel going 🙂)
A few other comp-related resources we’ve been enjoying:
FairOffer is a free compensation algorithm that simulates / suggests ‘competitive’ compensation
Carta publishes a pretty comprehensive State of Startup Compensation report every 6 months
