Indeed - I'll be polite:
I just cannot falsify the "showing off" thesis.
What value to the community does it add posting this single data point under his own name?
Aggregates like Glassdoor are much more valuable.
Is Glassdoor skewed/misleading? Then make that the post (and quantify).
PS: And always be very careful with individual anecdotes! There were whistles blown - from multiple sources - about extreme abuse at a famous science institute in Germany [1], and the single review on Glassdoor about it at the time was one guy singing it praises.

If you're making £50k and you see an anecdotal report of a £90k salary in the same market, that tells you something about the progress that you can make. Comparing yourself to an average isn't always helpful. > Is Glassdoor skewed/misleading? For a well known company that I worked for the Glassdoor average was lower than the company's actual graduate salaries.
