It's usually better to just ask people rather than using average salary data like this. Most people don't negotiate and get very standard offers.
- papln 7y agoDo you mean inviduals should ask people, or reporters should do surveys? It's a privilege to have access to people able, willing, and trustworthy to share their Facebook salary data.
- Zaheer 7y agoI think there's still room for compiling aggregate salary data. I'm from levels.fyi and we get emails all the time about how folks were able to negotiate higher based on our data. We're entirely crowdsourced which admittingly can lead to accuracy issues occasionally. So far, feedback from both companies and users has been that are numbers are quite accurate. I think one of the most important features we recently released has been the Salary band pages which show the full spectrum of compensation at a particular level: https://www.levels.fyi/salary/Facebook/SE/E3/ https://www.levels.fyi/salary/Facebook/SE/E3/ I acknowledge we're not perfect, but would love feedback to help us improve. Majority of the site has been built based on feedback we've collected.
