Nov 9, 2016 at 15:23 comment added Edwin Lambregts Afaik there are guidelines for every job and according skill level/location/seniority, etc, but one might be better at negotiating and get more salary (or accept less than they actually deserve). Check out Glassdoor. I can most of the time figure out what I would be earning, and people post salaries/reviews anonymously as well. Usually, it's not common to tell people how much you earn exactly. Legally, well, that depends on your country.

Jan 9, 2015 at 5:29 comment added Petter Nordlander In some places, like Sweden, individual income is public information accessible through the tax agency. It does not mean that companies happily print salary lists though

Jan 8, 2015 at 19:51 comment added HLGEM I don;t think he was saying it was common but just that the information is now known so you have to deal with it on that basis. At this point their best option is to consider putting in salary transparency because any attempt at secrecy now is an admission that they are doing something wrong in how they set salaries. This doesn't mean companies where this informatino is currently not known should be making tehm known, just that once your cover is blown there is no turning back to the secrecy days.

Jan 8, 2015 at 17:08 comment added keshlam I doubt anyone has real statistics, unless there have been academic papers published on it .... so i'd suggest hitting the library at a college with good business or industrial psychology department and asking them to help you research this. Short of that, I have to vote to close as likely to be unanswerable and subject to chage so answers would become outdated fairly quickly.

Jan 8, 2015 at 16:46 comment added PointlessSpike But is it only not unheard of because it's so rare that when someone does it it's big news?
Jan 8, 2015 at 16:40 comment added Telastyn I'm not sure how definitive an answer there is. It's certainly not common, but it's not unheard of either.
