Moonchaser Reviews

Moonchaser for Staff Engineer

Ganesh and the Moonchaser team were so helpful in getting me great offers I interviewed for several Staff Principal eng roles in big tech and startups and they guided me through multiple negotiations Before I used Moonchaser the first startup I considered was unwilling to change their compensation After getting Moonchaser involved Ganesh knew exactly how to handle the discussion and after several rounds of negotiations got me a much better offer I ended up deciding not to take any of the offers for personal reasons and Moonchaser didn t charge me anything Will definitely use Moonchaser again in a few months again when I am ready for a new role

Doubled my equity with Moonchaser

Moonchaser is the real deal Super responsive and set me up with everything I needed to a favourable salary negotiation with an early-stage tech startup in which I doubled the equity grant that I received from the initial offer Their advice was pragmatic effective and made the extremely uncomfortable process of salary negotiations much more bearable Thanks David team

I have a badass career and comp because of Rora s team

I ve worked with Brian at Rora a couple of times The first I was negotiating an offer with a FANG company looking to get the highest offer and not leave anything on the table I was new to FANG and emigrated from Canada to the US Brian lifted my original offer by 35k through negotiation mentorship even though it was my first time ever negotiating an offer and I didn t even have any counteroffers to leverage I was under-equipped and STILL managed to get a significant higher total comp The second time about 3 years later I was looking to make a move and Brian helped me see through the fog and was the catalyst to my decision to pivot There s many distractions and unlimited possibilities in tech and Brian s deep experience empowered me to be certain I was making the right decision Trust Rora You won t regret it

Rora changed my life

Rora is for real If it weren t for them I wouldn t be writing this from the living room of the house I bought with my wife Rora helped me get a 50 higher starting salary than I or other people in my field thought I would get for my first job in data science software engineering That is 50 above a reasonable expectation of friends who already worked in the industry not a pessimistic estimate I established late at night when I was worried I wouldn t find a job Danny was fabulous He put me at ease whenever we spoke He provided practical advice scripts for me to customize a broader perspective on the negotiation process and I always had a fun time speaking with him It was comforting to work with someone that has a depth of experience to draw upon After I was hired my skip manager told my manager this guy is a good negotiator Rora helped me start a new career in a job that I love

So helpful

I really enjoyed my experience with Annie and the Moonchaser team especially for my first time receiving an offer with a large international tech company Annie met me where I was while pushing me in the best way and provided invaluable insights on what was possible to maximize the opportunity She also provided support around the clock as my hiring process was unique in its cycle with unforeseen challenges but we got the job done I recommend Moonchaser to all my friends now to make sure they especially as women people of color make the most educated decision possible Thanks y all

Don t cave early

Crystal and Fatu were very encouraging and helpful at every stage of the negotiations They always reminded me to value my own worth and stayed in close connection during the most pressing times On my own I would ve panicked and caved to accept a much lower offer at the early stages From the Ralph experience I realized how arbitrary a lot of deadlines and maximum ceilings are and how much power my own bargaining chips have By thoughtfully considering every aspect of the company environment and compensation package I was able to find the best match possible

Rora far exceeded my expectations

I honestly don t know what I would have done without my Rora advisor Amir There were so many times in this process when I realized without him I would have been an anxious emotional wreck Instead I was able to stay focused on my goals and left the rest to Amir I really can t say it enough I am certain that without him I would have ended up in a lesser role with far far lower pay Working with the people at Rora far exceeded my expectations I really do believe that everyone should hire a Rora advisor when applying to jobs It s a no brainer for a small retainer up front and the commission on the tail end I was able to increase my yearly income by a significant amount That difference that Amir negotiated will benefit me throughout the rest of my career I will definitely be calling Amir next time I m looking for a job

Extremely Valuable Service for Job Applicants

It was wonderful being able to confide in and be coached by Nicole throughout a long and stressful interviewing process I m so glad that I listened to her advice and trusted in her experience It was a pleasure to work with her and I wouldn t hesitate to recommend her to my friends or to use her in the future should the need arise I was a new PhD without any experience yet Rora helped me increase my total compensation by 30k through two rounds of negotiation without having to share compensation from any other offers Rora is an absolute must for any job market candidate and I cannot recommend their service highly enough

Moonchaser is a God sent

Moonchaser is a God sent Their methodical approach and being in your corner every step of the way including being on co-calls made a huge difference in my ability to negotiate with my prospective employer Annie was amazing to work with I even interacted with Sameer briefly who was just as great
