- Zishan 14y agoSorry, should have clarified. I meant I like the article in its entirety: same titles but different levels, publicly defined criteria for levels and compensation determination, biannual reviews, bonus vs profit sharing, and oh my the benefits! etc. However, in terms of transparency, agreed about the challenge to adoption. From the writing: "Many companies try to obfuscate the rules they use for determining compensation in hopes that they won't get caught paying some people too much and others too little." I've seen internal H1-postings for junior developers (2-4 yrs exp) listing salary ranges 30% more than mine (12+ yrs exp). Just saying...
- bearmf 14y agoIt is interesting to note that they require salary history to determine new employee's level which people on HN tend to not like.
- Dylanlacey 14y agoPerhaps they dislike it because it's bullshit! How is my value to a company determined by how much I get paid historically?
- jhrobert 14y agoSo. What would be the salary at level 12?
