this is wrong take, once higher paying companies find out they could pay less due to competitors, they will.
also it is possible to advertise higher wage for senior level, but then downlevel employee after interview and offer less and some would still accept that (Google is notorious for doing it)
- N1H1L 5y agoPretty much every higher paying company already knows that. Even the lower paying ones do.
- joshuamorton 5y ago> this is wrong take, once higher paying companies find out they could pay less due to competitors, they will. Companies already functionally share compensation information via companies like Radford. You pay a hefty fee and provide your company's info, and in return you get descriptive statistics of the market. Google and facebook don't scour job boards when determining pay scales, they pick some percentile of the market per these surveys and set compensation at that level. As a result, the companies already have transparency, employees do not, so they can only really gain.
- wvenable 5y agoCompanies all know what other companies are paying for positions. They provide and collect this information from services that aggregate these details. The information deficit is entirely on your side.
