Startup compensation for developers makes zero sense, because market rates can easily jump 50 - 100% per year of experience. This means that at some points of the year a developer might be earning market rate, but other times they are vastly under-compensated and very vulnerable to getting poached.

There should be a way that startups can just automatically give people a raise every two weeks, so that way they make the same amount of money over the course of a year but their compensation is always equidistant from a projected fair market rate.

Then for the employees you'd just need to give them a tool so they could see how much money is going to hit their bank accounts every two weeks.



What's stopping anyone from doing that now?
