I don’t want my family members asking me for money saying “I know how much you make.” I don’t want criminals targeting me knowing my income.

- topkai22 5y agoIn the US, we have reasonably good survey information at the occupation level, see https://www.bls.gov/bls/blswage.htm https://www.bls.gov/bls/blswage.htm It’s big downsides are that it’s missing information about seniority/tenure, benefits and might struggle with uncommon pay methods like stock grants. However, with other resources like Glassdoor I feel you can get a decent picture of the pay situation for a given role in the US.
- spoonjim 5y agoThere's a big difference between someone saying "I see on LinkedIn you're a Staff Software Engineer at Google and you make at least $500K" and being able to brush them off with "don't believe everything you read" and actually having government tax records in hand.
- casualrandomcom 5y agoDoes not sound as a healthy family dynamics. Healthy dynamics would be: they talk about their problems and you offer your help, based on your availability. When family actually asks for money I am happy to help all the more. I want criminals to leave me be because they know my income. I really don't understand the criminal's point: it's like people ordinarily live in rags to hide their availability. This is not how it works, as I can see: people typically try and show off more than what they really have, why aren't they afraid of criminals?
