"Were my compensation public, I would forfeit the option to increase it significantly again."
No, it doesn't, and it would matter less if employers had to print legally binding starting salary ranges for jobs (they can't pay you less than the range, and the top must not be less than their top earner in the job).
- laumars 4y agoI can’t speak for the country you work in but here in the U.K. not every company has salary ranges and even those that do, a great many will try to negotiate salaries down rather than up (salaries are a businesses largest expense after all). Thus having a lower published salary gives you less bargaining power to negotiate a higher starting salary. This isn’t a universal problem even in the U.K. but just an illustration of how the GPs point isn’t as inaccurate as you claim.
