Pros: - Can help negociate salary as a candidate - Shows which companies really treat their employees well - Might reduce discrimination (but only in salaries) - You can brag about it Cons: - Salary is one of the only measurable element about a job, so you could be able to easily compare salaries, but not compare ethics, how relevant the job is to you, if the company is committed to protecting the environment, etc., so it might pile up on the unhealthy pursuit of more money that's already terrible for the environment and many other things - Salaries depend on many things, skill is very hard to measure, so YMMV - Salaries depend on company budget, not only on candidate skills - Beyond a certain point, chasing even more money often indirectly leads to depression, and unethical company practices - People online are extremely judgemental, if you have a high salary, they will bombard you with questions about your lifestyle and if you donate to charity. Even if you do, they'll continue because your choice of charities is not the same as them. Because you made a little commitment to be transparent, you'll feel that you have to answer because not doing so would not be transparent, and eventually they'll delve into personal stuff that's really unconfortable, and your lack of answer will tell them what they wished to know, and that you might have wanted them not to know There may be all kinds of biases, but in my experience, when salary transparency is available, it's always in tech, and always top 10/20% salaries. The missing data points will paint unrealistic expectations for tech roles, and reinforce imposter syndrome, IMHO. So it's fine if you do it, but I won't do the same, and I hope nobody pressures me to do it (peer pressure could happen if a significant portion of people did it).
