One of the main issues I see with this is that people lie.
They lie so much, that almost everyone in HR completely discounts employee based salary data. Instead, if they need to understand what a market rate is for a salary, they ask employers what they are paying, since to them it is just another expense.
Talk to anyone worth anything in HR and they will echo exactly what I said. You may as well guess what your buddy is being paid, because whatever they tell you is never going to be accurate enough to provide you with an informed opinion.
- narcissus 13y agoYeah, so I guess the site doesn't make its "raison d'etre" very clear. If I'm at lunch with my mates, and we are discussing salaries, and there's a way for us to anonymously give each other an idea of how much we're all making, well, I trust them enough not to lie. That's also partly why I'm shooting for "really simple to set up and add to". Any other use of the site is going to be gamed. I agree.
