Built a salary benchmarking tool — would love critical feedback

Introduction

I’m working on a side project called OfferCheck to help engineers evaluate job offers more realistically.

What the tool currently does

  • Shows market salary ranges (min / avg / max) by role and years of experience
  • Breaks down CTC vs. take‑home pay
  • Allows filtering by company type (startup / MNC / product)
  • Includes basic negotiation email templates to help start the conversation

The data is based on public, employee‑reported sources and is intentionally kept conservative (no US‑to‑INR conversions or unrealistic outliers). Salary data is messy and imperfect.

Feedback I’m looking for

  • Are the salary ranges directionally reasonable?
  • Is the experience mapping intuitive?
  • Does the comparison actually help decision‑making?
  • Anything that feels misleading, confusing, or unnecessary?

This is still evolving, so critical feedback is very welcome — especially from folks who’ve switched jobs recently or hired for these roles.

Thanks in advance 🙏
