How willing are you to share your salary with your coworkers? I had a director that I had a coffee chat with last night and he said that it is detrimental to my career to be asking that yet told me his in our discussion… I think that the benefits out way the cons but you could make a coworker mad if the salary difference is enough. Any thoughts?

Information asymmetry benefits those at the top.

Share freely. Encourage it.

People are weird about comp IMO - it’s a reasonable question no ones out here working for fun

True

In my observation a lot of this is cultural. I understand that in some such as US it is uncommon for coworkers to share compensation, while in some others, such as India, and some other Asian countries it is quite common.

Agreed

Ask the director to pay your rent / mortgage if compensation doesn’t matter.

My firm went crazy a few years ago over threads of people sharing title, rough YOE, and comp. It started to pick up steam and there were active sr leadership discussions on how to quell and influence the dialogue.

IMHO the best thing everyone leaving a firm could do for the people they are leaving behind is post or otherwise share their comp.
At point of exit there is no risk of retaliation, and the “paying it forward” is sooo valuable to those who remain…. The people you were peers with.

Need to figure out how to normalize it. Glassdoor sharing is less powerful than Frank who-you-worked-with for 3 years

Enough people talk about it so I listen. If I’m at the top I never share, if I’m anywhere else I do. I make $45k more than one of my co-workers, so what benefit is there to me in sharing that with them?

Worse working conditions, for me, and unlikely. They’ll get there one day.

I'd only get made or care if the person is a clear slacker and males significantly more than me. I wouldn't be mad at them though. I would be more mad that I got comfortable enough to be significantly underpaid against my peers.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
