Happy to share. Unpopular opinion but I don’t get why money or income is a taboo topic. I certainly make more than some people and I certainly make less than others. Everyone is so always so curious how they measure up against their peers but how can you accurately do this without transparency?

Transparency only helps the employees, I wish it wasn’t seen as a taboo

Depends, if I am the CEO or owner, then no. Employees sharing salary forces you to pay them fairly and makes them harder to rip off. If I am an employee then of course! I would like to know I am being treated fairly.

Yes! Secrecy only gives corporation more power to screw over employees

All for sharing my total comp. Transparency only helps each other

like

Yes. The only ones benefiting from lack of transparency are the big companies, not the employees

like

No because I know I’m drastically underpaid, have tried to renegotiate with no success, and don’t want coworkers to give me a sad smile and say that’s too bad

like

The reality is that there is no exact fairness in salary, people have different skill set, different specialities, work in aligned to different industries, some people may have hot skills, billing hours may be different etc. there’s no equitable pay and doesn’t have to. I remember I had that convo with a director, he told me I couldn’t earn more since I would be earning more than other peers and left the company for a huge salary bump.
Understand your industry and the market, learn hot skills and improve your negotiation skills, that’s what is going to actually help closing salary gaps that you may have.

Of course. Why not?

transparent as hell

Yes. Not with everyone but certain ones. It’s how I knew what to ask for when I job hopped and vice versa.

I share both salary plus bonus %

I used to be ok revealing but not anymore. I feel I’m getting paid too much for what I do...we have transparent ranges but I’m above our published ranges.

Honestly, luck and timing.

Get out of these shit IT corporate world.

Start preparing for SSC CGL(mainly target this exam). There are a hell lot of opportunities if you clear this exam and these jobs provides a lot of job respect in the society.
Even if the salary is 60-70k (starting salary) but the job security and the facilities are simply incomparable with the IT jobs.

Don't waste your time & energy in the ruthless labor market just for money.

This may be an unpopular opinion.

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.

It seems like everyone is in agreement that switching firms gives you a salary boost, but that you could be viewed as someone that doesn’t stick around.

Other experiences?
