Hi, we collect both self-reported entries and proof documents such as W2s, offer letters, and pay stubs for verified entries (https://www.levels.fyi/addcomp.html https://www.levels.fyi/addcomp.html). We also collect verified offers through our negotiation service. While we don't display these on our site or make them public, they anchor the data on our site to a ground truth.
We've added thousands of companies recently for a push to get more information, check out our company directory at https://levels.fyi/company/ https://levels.fyi/company/. We also take requests on this page if you don't see a company. The biggest limitation for us is getting salary data for a company – if we get 3 or more submissions for a company, we'll create a page for it. We encourage everyone to help us out by contributing at the link above!
- ludamad 5y agoMedian compensation around Toronto for C$158,000 seems quite high. Real numbers of course might shed light on surprising facts such as this. How do you combat the bias of people feeling that higher salaries are more important to report, however?
- zuhayeer 5y agoYeah fair point, we need to collect more salaries overall to present a more accurate picture of the labor market. One way we plan to tackle this is to provide more incentives to share your salary. Perhaps this is more of a social stigma issue around sharing your salary, but we encourage everyone to submit their salary, it helps everyone else out: https://levels.fyi/addcomp.html https://levels.fyi/addcomp.html
- ludamad 5y agoIf you consider US political polling, one key correction is demographics of people who respond well to optional polls. Of course, they have eventual ground truth and are only predicting a 1bit outcome. Still, do you guys have any thoughts on corrections on the data you get in?
