Has anybody noticed a disparity between the salaries that people report on Fishbowl versus the ones you find in the real world?

Looking at the salaries in the Real Agency Salaries spreadsheet for senior copywriters in NYC, most are in the 100-110k range, which aligns with what I’ve heard talking to recruiters.

But on Fishbowl people report salaries 130k+ for the same role.

I’m making 120k as a senior, which to my understanding was the high end of what a senior makes — or is it not?

Self confirmation bias. The people who choose to disclose their salary online are likely more confident than their peers when it comes to their individual pay. People who make more than others with the same job title usually know it, but those who are underpaid are often left in the dark.

It’s a different job market atm. Shortage of employees staying put has placed upwards pressure on salaries across the board in most industries. Especially white collar jobs.

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
