The rouka Brief
Know what you are worth before the conversation starts.
Career intelligence for the private market, where salaries are not published and the comparison set is invisible. Enter your role. See your position in the band.
Coverage
10 sectors of the private market, benchmarked by role and region.
What the Brief contains
Eight sections, in the order you read them.
Where your compensation sits in the band for your role and region, as a percentile.
Which of your credentials, languages and scope are scarce in this sector, and what that is worth.
What the same salary is worth after tax across the jurisdictions you could work in.
Routes to roles paying above your current band, with the median each one reaches.
How your CV and profile read now, and what to change so they land at the right level.
Where firms search for your profile, the signals they filter on, and what makes you invisible.
A discreet signal to organizations hiring your profile, without a public search.
Hiring conditions in your sector, and how pay has moved where a defensible series exists.
How we know
Every figure declares where it came from.
Private market compensation is reported inconsistently and rarely published. Rather than smooth that over, we label the provenance of each number so you can weigh it yourself.
Read the methodologyRead from a named external survey and cited to its source and year, as published. No aggregation across sources that measure different things.
Computed by rouka from verified inputs. Percentile, rarity class, upside to median and any regional adjustment are modeled. The inputs are cited.
A sector median standing in where a role-specific benchmark does not exist. Labeled so you know to treat it as directional.
255 sources across compensation surveys, industry research, regulatory filings and rouka placement records. Each is listed by name and year.
For employers
The same intelligence, from the hiring side of the table.
Mandate scoping, market depth for the seat you are filling, realistic timelines, and a discreet route to people who are not looking. Open to a small number of organizations while the search side is in beta.
