Personally, "jump ship tomorrow salary requirement" is one of many items used to decide whether to actually jump ship or not.
At the end of the day, these type of data is only one aspect to consider when deciding what to do next, or even to contemplate the next step. Having these data available adds another input into the mix.
- logicallee 11y agofor sure! It's not like if our example gets an email saying someone would like to hire them for $180K, then they'll drive over for an interview and hand in their notice the same day. But do you think this is information that (as I think) should be asked here? I'm thinking it can only help workers.
- yitchelle 11y agoIf you can get that type of information, why not. It could only help for a more accurate comparison.
- logicallee 11y agoall right (just to be clear I have nothing to do with the spreadsheet.) I was actually thinking that this could be a sort-of 'standing offer' from people as well. I mean hiring would certainly be a lot easier if everyone on linkedin had their price that you could probably immediately get them for! This is just particularly true in the tech industry, which is prone to delirious investor-fueled bubbles on the one hand, but in which, on the other hand, employees really can generate a few million dollars worth of value over a weekend. (For example, by refining a checkout recommendation for related items, that one refinement could objectively result in an extra $million in sales through that exact mechanism.) So I think the ability to actually reach workers at their jump-ship price (as opposed to just anonymously asking them for it, without any possibility for follow-up) could be a net benefit to employees. Good tech workers are extremely scarce.
