How accurate is salary.com when determining fair compensation? Our annual raises are coming up and I just ran my salary through their free search using my zip code, and according to them, I'm paid significantly under market level. I know my organization uses Payfactor for their comp management. If you have experience in those systems, do you find the numbers to be fairly similar? I’d like to use this info to negotiate for myself.

Unless you have an external offer in hand, ie the market is actually offering you more, you have no leverage and are making what the market will pay you

There are always a lot of variables on those sites that may or may not apply directly to you. ED1 nails it, if you aren’t able to find a similar role offering better compensation your hands are kind of tied. I would use that to be my reason for some research though.

I wouldn't take one of those sites too seriously. It's really just a matter of supply and demand most of the time. And if a company makes an offer and someone turns it down, there may be, especially in this job market, 20 other people who would accept it. So that determines the salary.

Question, if you pay off your house isn’t a 100k salary more than enough to sustain a good lifestyle? My goal has always been to payoff my mortgage then find a really easy analyst role to sustain my expenses. Assuming I’m a director/VP by the time my mortgage is paid off I’d probably be able to do an analyst 40hr week in like 10hrs. Esp at some of these low expectation companies. What do y’all think about this plan?
