I was a film major and now I work in the makeup and costume department, doing SFX makeup. I make around $48K right now, since Im still new in the industry.

My major was data science, but I ended up scrapping that to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming an actor. Not currently making a salary in this position as I'm still in the process of auditioning and trying to get my first big break. I'm hopeful!

Psychology major - Event/Conference Coordination - 55k

I majored in Multimedia Arts and now I'm freelancing as a graphic artist for advertisements and website designs as I'm applying for more stable jobs.

I majored in Computer Science. Landed a job at Uber for a starting pay of $200k

I need help figuring out if I’m being underpaid. I’m working in real estate private equity and I focus on fund models and property valuations. I’m currently at base $80k and 20% bonus. On top of that I have 5 years experience and a masters in finance. I’m good at my job and receive positive reviews from everyone. I feel like I should be compensated better but the company says that’s what they think I’m worth. Any help or insights would be great!

Hey guys,
I am planning to startup. Planning to go very big.
The fundamental reason for any business to start is to earn profits if it's not a non-profit org. But, what if the business is owned by the consumers itself. And consumers become shareholders of the business.
1) People fund the business
2) People buy products from it
3) People share profits if there are some.
Goal of such business:
1) Not for profits
2) Increase employment in country
3) Make in India boost

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
