Instructions

1. Ask for any missing context.
2. Research typical salary ranges, bonus percentages, and common benefits for the role in the given industry and geography.
3. Provide a comparison table showing the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles.
4. Highlight any discrepancies if current compensation is provided.

• Clearly differentiate between data from public sources and estimated averages.
• Do not give legal or negotiation advice.
