A surprising number of people don't know about levels.fyi

Go to levels.fyi, find some companies and compare at your level. For a long time I was like "ain't no way these numbers are accurate, people are getting paid that much?" YES THE NUMBERS ARE ACCURATE; your company's excuses for a shitty raise this year ("blah blah market conditions, blah blah you are already on the upper end of your band, let's work on a promotion next year") are bullshit.

I wish they would include the "non-professional" professions. I bet I could have gotten a better pay as a chef if I had any idea what other chefs made at the time.

Does Glass Door have non-office jobs listed? I haven't looked on there in quite a while but it was the same idea in a more general sense.

I don't know. They want me to sign up before I'm allowed to look at anything.

Sadly this doesn't include my profession (Industrial Automation). Do you know of other alternatives?

You could try Glassdoor, but my understanding is that it's not as accurate as levels.
