Don't do this without very good guarantees that your data is not going to be tied to your identity somehow, you could be a in a lot of hot water for disclosing this stuff.<p>Sorry to rain on the parade but this is <i>not</i> a good idea.<p>If you do decide to go through with it use a proxy and a throwaway email address.<p>downmodders: you're clueless.
This information would be valuable. Unfortunately, getting such information <i>reliably</i> is incredibly difficult.<p>If life has taught me nothing else it's that people lie about their incomes <i>even anonymously</i>. Plus you have a selection bias to deal with anyway.<p>Oh and email validation is pretty meaningless.
An extension of this which would be even more socially beneficial would be "graduate of x degree program and y university job offer stats"; ideally with some kind of actually trusted third party going over legitimate offer letters.<p>This data could be blinded at the level of industry or role (and thus not commercially sensitive to any employer), and then published to prospective students; knowing that Bentley College majors in Communications are offered $20-40k while Stanford CS graduates are offered $70-140k would be exceptionally useful to everyone, much more so than the 5-year graduation rates which I think universities taking certain federal financial aid programs are required to disclose.
I'm currently negotiating for a director level post... This confirms what I thought : way too low !<p>I'll wait for more data, but this is a great help for me !
We have TheFunded for VC/Angel investors, stuff like Glassdoor and this for compensation, and CPM/traffic/etc. are fairly well established through compete and other sources, and it would be great to see a few more anonymous data pools:
1) Non-employee costs (offices in SoMA and PA/MV, insurance, anything sold in a non-transparent market)
2) Sales cycles and cash to cash time (how long does it take for initial interest to become cash in the bank account for various types of product and market)
I'm a little suspicious of this dataset.<p>$122k + 3.5% for a mid level product manager who joined Q1, 2011 at (presumably) Groupon?<p>$320k + 1.5% for a C-level bizdev who joined Q1, 2011 at Groupon?<p>5% of equity to late entry employees at a company where, presumably, first employees have been diluted into sub .5% ranges seems not just ridiculous, but impossible. I mean, they just closed a series G for crying out loud -- they don't have 5% to throw at new employees.<p>Unless of course there are other group buying startups in Chicago with a valuation greater than $10bn that I haven't heard of.
It may be pretty hard to compare US and foreign offers. For instance, in France, you'd be earning 36000 euros in cash --what's landing on your account --, however it would actually be nearly 48000 euros with charges (that's what you're taxed for): social security, retirement, etc. Then the company will actually pay some 20000 more euros in other salary charges. That means that 36000 euros in cash in France translate to (36000 (cash) + 32000 (charges)) * 1.30 = about US$ 90000 ...
Would be nice if the column headers could act as filters rather than just sortable. I wanna see just postings in SF Bay Area, Pre-Rev, and Engineering. I don't care about all the other stuff.
