How can I tell if I'm earning a fair and/or equal salary in comparison with my co-workers? Is it weird to ask my teammates what they are earning? How would I even bring up this topic?

Is your company on Glassdoor? I have found their salaries to be accurate. Also in some states job posting show the range.

I’d avoid asking your colleagues what they make since at least in the US it’s not common to want to share that info.

My personal feeling on this is that (when I don’t have comps) I judge my salary based on whether I feel it fairly represents the work I do.

I think that if you have legitimate friendships with colleagues, it's okay to ask about salary expectations. But if you have different roles then you might not like some of the truths lol.

I'm so out the door with all that is tacky or taboo...kind of a rude thing or at least STARK thing to bring up out of nowhere but if it gets to the point where you and your colleagues are chopping it up, then go for it.

Like someone else said, if you become friends with these people you can bring stuff up in a casual conversation.

Use Glassdoor to see if salaries are posted for your company or even similar competitive companies. That should at least give you a range.

If you’re more than just colleagues with your coworkers then they may be willing to share that info with you. You might have to give up your pay info before they give up theirs.

Should I take this role?
Pros: 50k bump, company is full remote, no time tracking software, unlimited PTO, 10k in quarterly bonuses, vertical move in responsibility and title, will set me up for future roles in different companies with the title I am looking for (so strategic move)

Cons: Its a startup, the solution they offer is adjacent to my desired industry, its a very small team so I wouldn’t grow my network as much, tech stipend for new laptop (but they don’t provide a work one)

Hello,

My friend joined RBS with 18 LPA (1,80,000 is the retirement funding) rest comes in basic & benefit funding. What will be the monthly in hand amount?

When we will get the salary slip of October 2022.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
