Why, just why? Besides Glassdoor, there's now comparably.com (which I also question), plus Quora and mobile apps like Blind. Imho, Glassdoor is actually pretty accurate and you can fill in the gaps (things like vesting schedules, promotion paths, etc) through searching and asking questions on Quora.
- mettamage 11y agoHere's a peculiar opinion. I don't have them often, so enjoy ;) I agree that implementing an idea that is fairly common already has a high risk of adding only marginal value. I didn't see the website yet, but I was thinking the same thing "don't we have salary sites already? Why would we need another one?" Then I read your comment and to be honest (and peculiar): if all the value that the website was is having your comment on a HN thread, then it made my day. I never knew that Quora had salary answers. I never knew about Blind and comparably.com either. So your comment, that's why this site should exist. It's a small reason, but a reason nonetheless. There are other reasons as well but other HNers said them already and this is the first one that popped into my mind. To add a few myself that I just learned about: - http://h1bdata.info/ http://h1bdata.info/ - http://visadoor.com/ http://visadoor.com/

- eitally 11y agoAnd to be honest with you, that is exactly why I made the comment, because I suspected the OP (and a large fraction of the readership) didn't know about those (or the h1b search portals). The comments sections of HN is one of my most valuable news sources. :)
