It also doesn't make sense - there is plenty of room to move up even if you're in the top 1% of salaries. The curve doesn't abruptly end at the top, there is a long tail of increasing salaries at the 1%, 0.5%, 0.1%, etc marks.
- mangeletti 10y agoBut, does finding out that you're in the top 2% change your salary or lifestyle, or is it just learning something about what already is? Finding out you're in the bottom 25% is also just learning something that already is; but in this case, it's empowering information. Note that we're talking about somebody who just learned about something that already is.
