Without transparent salaries, clear reasons why people are paid what they are getting paid and getting rid of the adversarial negotiation process, how do we know if people are getting paid less for being POC, or a woman? Happy to hear any other suggestions to accurately eliminate discriminatory salary earnings by companies.

The stigma around people talking about what they are paid is one of the most sinister secrets in this industry and most others. I am 100% for salary transparency: sr. writer, white male, NYC 130k, 6.5 years experience. I recognize its a lot, but it’s exactly what women and PoC with the same credentials should be making too.

I mean, it would be a HUGE coincidence if POC and women's salaries were just lower because they weren't performing as good as white men. Come on, we know because it's a trend.

Check out sites like Glassdoor, or even ask friends, or folks here in fishbowl to find out the average salary for your position. It’s how I’ve known what to ask for my entire career. Because every company is looking to save money and get you on the cheap.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach.
