#52Hopefully LinkedIn won't ask me for my salary in the future. Cause I definitely don't trust them with my salary info. They'll sell it to everyone - recruiters, other companies...
That's why you should lie even to forms when asked for your salary.
Let's just all put down random number between $220,000 - $275,000 as base.

#53Not really convincing (yet). Mainly US & UK cities, and the data is based on small user numbers so far.
Would say you get so far a better overview on https://teleport.org or www.glassdoor.com...

I'd suggest you to read https://engineering.linkedin.com/blog/2016/10/bringing-salar... , the section about privacy.
Here is what the _current_ content says: One of the interesting dichotomies with compensation data is that many users want this information, but don’t want to have their individual data exposed or connected back to them. Salary information is personal to each of our members. With this in mind, and consistent with our Members First organizational philosophy, one of the first goals we established when we set out to emb…
True, but that is not the issue. The clickwrap means nothing to me when they have this rider:
"7. Right to Terminate or Modify Software
LinkedIn may modify the Software and this EULA with notice to you either in email or by publishing notice on the Website, including but not limited to charging fees for the Software, or changing the functionality or appearance of the Software. In the event LinkedIn modifies the Software or the EULA, you may terminate this EULA and cease use of the Software. LinkedIn may terminate your use of the Software, the EULA or the LinkedIn Service at any time, *with or without notice.*" (emphasis mine)[0]

Until 7 months later they quietly update the ToS.

What's an outlier? I bet a lot of people feel they're shortchanged by about $10k, and will report that much higher to set a baseline. Outlier sounds more like "AngularJS developer making $250,000 in Cleveland"
it means more accurate baseline calculation as well as median salary which will rule out things like "AngularJS developer making $250,000 in Cleveland"
This is the first salary listing I've seen that actually looks somewhat accurate (at least for some titles) I am confused why you guys aren't using the title standardization. You're surfacing and getting different results for "Senior Software Development Engineer" and "Senior Software Engineer" (whatever those mean). You should talk to someone in SNA about this. I think Qi is the guy now.
Also you're having sampling bias that's effecting levels. There's no way the median salary for a staff engineer is higher than a senior staff's. Again talk to Qi.
Stay cool.

I've thought about this as well. Ultimately you need access to some pretty private data. One thought I've had is to use the mint/intuit APIs to get a list of a persons transactions in their bank account and find the ones that occur every 2 weeks, etc. Or possibly have users upload paystubs, though you'd have to have someway to verify. I'm sure that's possible.
Its an interesting approach but I see trouble convincing a user to give their mint credentials to a site for salary information. Imagine if Glassdoor or LinkedIn asked for this.
You wouldn't need to give your mint credentials. They have an API so that you can create an app that gets read only access based on an OAuth token for a particular user. Similar to fb oauth, google, etc.

one of the engineers from Salary team. we talk about privacy and accuracy at length in this blog post https://engineering.linkedin.com/blog/2016/10/bringing-salar... . TL;DR; we do outlier detection.
Why didn't you buy industry standard employer wage reported surveys like any employer of size does? They are readily available and the cost would be a drop in a bucket for LNKD.
Because they'd rather make and sell their own, obviously

that's a mighty big hoping that nothing in this regard will change. ever. in for-profit company. that eagerly steals all my contacts from my cell phone (to which I probably unknowingly agreed, but it's amoral).
NO.
