Just saw on my current company's Glassdoor profile that the base pay for my role is 10k higher than what I currently make. How accurate is Glassdoor when it comes to this info? Because if it's true, I am not a happy camper.

It honestly seems to be hit or miss. Echoing above, I use this along with a few other sources and average

I think that Glassdoor is pretty accurate but I would say that the rule of thumb is to look at three sources at least and average them all. They should all be within $0-20k of one another.

Glassdoor is pretty accurate but take your location into it. People in the HCOL areas, San Fran, NYC,Boston make more than Lower cost of living areas even with the same job title.

Depends on how standard your role is

Only if the salary was reported by someone in your same company, same role, not avg of self reported at similar companies

The salary info is usually based on self reported data from employees so it might not be 100% spot on for every company or role but it is pretty close to the actual thing. Just varies from company or location.

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay.

It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!
