How Is the Offer Competitiveness Score Calculated?

OCS = (0.50 x CS) + (0.25 x BS) + (0.25 x WS) Compensation Sub-Score (CS): TC = Base Salary + Bonus + Equity | CR = TC / Market Median | CS = MIN(100, CR x 100) Benefits Sub-Score (BS): Health (0-40) + PTO (0-35) + Retirement (0-25) - capped at 100 Work Model Sub-Score (WS): Remote (0-40) + Title Level (0-35) + Growth (0-25) - capped at 100 Example: TC=105,000 | Median=90,000 | CR=1.167 | CS=100 | BS=86 | WS=73 | OCS=89.75 ≈ 90

What Is a Good Offer Competitiveness Score?
