   Would be interesting to have an entirely separate 'Getting' section for folks on-boarding for first time just getting a handle on basics. Potentially even going as far as new 'Simple' APIs. Mention all the caveats up-fro

   Levels / Pay grades are quite well defined at most companies. Nearly every company maintains a career leveling guide with specific criteria that should be looked for at a level. The difficulty is in evaluation of that criteria. People

   California actually has this. Employers must disclose to interviewees the salary range for a position [1]. The big loophole in this is that for tech companies a significant portion of compensation comes from equity (ex. RSU, options, etc).

   How would you collect productivity? I think that's quite subjective. As you mentioned, 'Level' is a signal of an individuals' performance to some degree. If you're performing well, you will move up quickly (broad st

   I haven't done that specific analysis but stock based compensation is given out in public quarterly financial statements. See here for example that Google spent ~9.35 Billion (!) in stock compensation last year: https://www.

    I assume you mean for visualizations. I do want to add though that you can already filter the comp data by location using the search bar or clicking the filter button to the right of it. Ex. https://www.levels.fyi/comp.html?

    Don't think it's fair to say that nothing can be drawn from it. Sure there's less statistical significance but I wouldn't discard it completely. There's a large altruism component involved. Nearly every other week f

    We'll look into that right away! We keep track of which companies users click on so that we can focus data gathering on those. We use Google analytics so it's possible that's interfering.

    One benefit of approach I mentioned is that there's nothing to host. All just client-side code. Although I do see the use for hosting: latency for loading data from Google Sheets isn't great and adding a cache helped in my case.
