summary

Budget planning follows a waterfall budget locked in Q4 where midyear benchmarking (Radford-style) and finance forecasts dictate hiring cadence and quarterly headcount; offers must consider current and previous salaries, company stage, rare skills, and whether a candidate comes from an under‑represented group. Raises separate into salary = past performance, stock = future retention; avoid token 1–3% increases because they signal avoidance, and balance limited raise pools by trimming top earners slightly to give meaningful bumps to lower-paid teammates.
