Man, after seeing this,I’m ready to find new gig!
Love this place which finally no people can fool employees anymore and trick them get lower pay than the market.

But managers and business would hate this place.

Whoever first launched this kind platform, I love them!

That is a great offer but in about 90% of the cases, you can ask for and receive more. There are some great books on how to improve your negotiation skills like Getting to Yes, Getting More, and Never Split the Difference. Additionally I'm always happy to chat about negotiating for more money. I check LinkedIn more often than here, so if helpful, feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn at www.linkedin.com/in/alanjstein

Looking on levels for Canada, the difference I see is in RSUs and Bonus. I’ll negotiate those but I think base is pretty good. Thanks!

Salary gain (on average) is 20%~ when people jump jobs. So I read in a LinkedIn article. Tech is probably WAYYY higher.

Stay around and get your 5-7% increase each year, or jump ship..

Loyalty in business these days doesn't get you very far in terms of moving up the ladder..

Why is it that when ever I look at “entry level” jobs in IT they always want 2-4 years of experience. It’s entry level that means maybe some certifications if they didn’t major in the field or a degree in the field. Not 2-4 years already working in the field. Can someone please explain this to me?

There's a debate about this going on in the Google bowl, which I find interesting. Most people are saying they don't have a problem with this, but I think it's deeply unfair.

The argument that resonates with me is that if you move to a LCOL city the value of your output isn't all of sudden worth 25% less.

Curious what others in the industry think.
