It's incredible in these comments that so many of you who work in the industry on the employee side are arguing against having more transparency for the employee, and for having more leverage in the negotiating process for the employer instead. I want all the advantage as an employee that I can get. Any secret withheld from me is not to my advantage.
- kccqzy 4y agoI think for most people external tools like levels.fyi are already good enough in that they provide a salary range with sufficient accuracy. Of course these same people would hope that the other candidates haven't heard of levels.fyi so that companies can lowball them to have more budget for the salaries of those who have heard of levels.fyi. It's just selfishness, not collective action.

In more concrete terms, I do think there are a fair amount of bots/paid-commenters on HN who push for anti-progressive agenda which helps maintain status quo.
