Doesn't anonymous sourcing of data like this likely introduce some significant biases?
- ganoushoreilly 9y agoExtreme bias. As great as these salary's look from the big guys, it totally discredits the real salary ranges from the non big players. I also think it gives a false impression of salary when the truth is very few applicants would get the jobs listed at those rates.
- urda 9y agoNot to mention with something like salary folks tend to "inflate" and pump up their numbers. Just a quick browse through this, and the fact that it claims to be "bootcamp" grads, the data is really really skewed upward IMO.
- jordache 9y agoI would think anonymous contribution is likely to yield more truthful information.
- moduspwnens14 9y agoIt (by design) includes only people who self-select to share their compensation details. I would expect that to skew high, even if 100% truthful.
- jordache 9y agowhat self gratification does one get by boosting his/her salary when it's anonymized?
- moduspwnens14 9y agoI didn't argue they're likely to boost their salaries, or that they receive self gratification from doing so, so I'm not sure how to answer your question.
