Can salary transparency truly be a thing if people aren’t willing to consider the value they bring to a company?

I’ve seen people upset they don’t get paid the same as someone in the same role, but they completely unwilling to consider any factors aside from title and salary.

I’ve definitely seen an emphasis on people assuming that if they have the same number of years working, and the same title, they should get exactly the same salary.

What they’re not seeing is that one person brought in a deep collection of business contacts that turned into contracts, or specialized training, or a track record of closing sales, or existing customers, or other intangibles that are what ultimately lead to that difference in pay.

Totally. You are paid for what you uniquely bring to the table. There are ranges and starting points, but so many variables. It’s on the worker to negotiate as well as be aware of always adding value as much as it is on the company to pay the wage. Ridiculously low pay or crazy expectations usually work themselves out as nobody takes the jobs or stays in them long. That’s at least…. How it’s supposed to work.

Yeah, still same pay for the same work. People in the same position and with the same responsibilities should be paid the same, regardless of everything else. And ad land wonders why there is no union, huh

Why is education deemed more valuable on a pay scale than experience? Employers will pay someone with a degree and no experience a greater salary, than someone who has exhibited the experience. Understanding that the degreed person committed to school and finished, yet that doesn't diminish what the not degreed has committed to and accomplished in their careers. This has to stop!

Hi All,

I have 4 yrs of exp as full stack developer and my current CTC is 15 lpa and notice period is of 3 months. I got an offer from another firm for 24lpa but they have shared the offer letter of DOJ after 2 months and asked me to negotiate my notice period or look for buyout. What should I do in this case? Should I connect with my current hr to negotiate? Cause I tried convincing the new hr to share the offer letter of DOJ after 3 months but she is not in the favour of that.
