I'd make this site more focus about apples to apples comparison within the same company. I.e 'Share your salary at X and invite your colleagues to do the same'. So people could go to honestsalary.com/company and collaborate there with the main page showing the aggregate.
And maybe instead of job title use department and 'level' to make it more ambiguous. I.e engineering,marketing,operations or 'associate, sr, manager, director, vp, cto'.
The problem with title is that with small companies title alone isn't ambiguous enough. Yeah yeah I know it's technically illegal for a company to retaliate but that is being a bit naive. Some companies will - the law is pretty toothless here and there are plenty of ways to subtly do it.
Also use HTTPS. For obvious reasons.
Otherwise i'm a fan and I was actually looking for an something similar the other day.

- anonsalarylol 11y agoHere's the source for a small webapp to anonymously share your salary with a pool of others: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/894b151cc981f783e3af https://gist.github.com/anonymous/894b151cc981f783e3af I did try to make most of the selections ambiguous in order to better preserve anonymity. The way it works is that the pool creator sets a minimum number of responses before anyone can see the salary info. You also can't see any salary info unless you yourself have submitted. I made it a while back for people trying to understand tech salaries in a particular area. It's not geared towards startups but maybe someone can modify it.
- anonsalarylol 11y agoOne thing I forgot to mention is that the app is based around sharing unique URLs; there's no need for users to create accounts of any sort.
