Equal pay is built-in in Mavericks’s compensation model
There are no salary negotiations at Mavericks, because the salary basis is the same for everyone. Our consultants’ salaries are based on the revenue they bring in. Not Gender, ethnicity, nor any other secondary factor affects one’s salary.
In September 2021, a Finnish e-magazine Tivi wrote that Statistics Finland revealed that men’s median monthly earnings were clearly higher than women’s in almost all professions in the IT sector. Unfortunately, statistics from SSB shows that the situation is the same in the Norwegian job market.
You will not see those issues at Mavericks. Equal pay is not only a pretty word here – it works in practice. Our consultants’ salaries do not differ based on gender, place of residence, ethnicity, language, age or any other secondary factor. Nor is the amount of salary based on tenacity of demanding, loudest voice, longest tenure or personal preferences of an individual manager. Instead everyone is paid based on their actual market value for the company.
Mavericks has the fairest compensation of the market. You might find that arrogant, but let us open up the compensation model for you.
At Mavericks the salary basis is the same for everyone: consultant’s hourly price is always tied to current market circumstances and what kind of role and responsibility one has in a project. Monthly salary is based on the revenue the consultant brings in: where 70% of what one brings in is spent on their salary, leaving the gross salary to 51% of one’s monthly invoicing. At Mavericks that means on average 90 000 to 100 000 NOK per month. See a more detailed breakdown here. The industry average pay for senior developers in Oslo-based consultancies is around 60 000 to 70 000 NOK per month.
Technology industry is strongly and unfairly favoring men, and the equality discussion runs hot in Norway and abroad. The most critical metric for equality is how it actualizes in compensation. Gender, ethnicity or location should not affect one’s salary, as they are irrelevant in the matter of how well one does their job.
We are miles ahead of our competitors in this matter, because at Mavericks equal pay is built-in in our compensation model. We believe that equal pay is best achieved by quitting salary negotiations.
