> Pay should equate to value, not some silly ladder climb I agree with this statement, but that's a tough thing to get large companies to agree with I think it's in the interest of the industry-at-large to not ask this question, because it incentivizes hopping jobs every 1-2 years. But, that's all fine and good and everybody might agree with what I said, but individual companies still profit by 'defecting' (asking how much you made before and offering you that * 1.05).
