Snark aside, yeah levels.fyi does have data and so do other sites. (Although levels is the standard in tech imo).
Still is incorrect though, b/c those sites are biased against older consistent data vs new data.
Example:
Look at averages for FAANG engineers that are poached from other companies, vs ones with years at that company. If you just looked at the average then it wouldn't work since you're a new applicant you should probably ask for 20-30% more than if you currently worked there.
Also saying Google/Levels is good enough puts aside the problem of what market rate is for smaller companies. How much should a well funded web3 company pay you? What about companies outside of tech where salary sharing is less common?
All of the info available to the candidate on Google also pales in comparison to the asymmetry of one person versus an entire department of people who make these deals for a living, and have actual research on what's going on with the market instead of randomly reported crowdsourced data.
