Early-career IC - Ramp pays new grads aggressively for a startup. Equity is options/RSUs at the last preferred-round valuation; illiquid until exit or tender.
Senior IC. Most-common external hire level. NYC-based with in-office expectations; velocity culture means the interview bar emphasizes shipping speed.
Staff IC. Equity dominates and reflects the latest round's valuation - discount for liquidity when comparing against public-company offers.
Principal IC. Very small population; offers are bespoke.
