How to Get Secret Salary Info for Any Job at Any Company

by Terrence O'Brien on June 11, 2008 at 11:41 AM


Do you ever wish you could find out how an offer you've received at a new job compares to other salaries in the company? Or what what other companies are paying for the same position? Wouldn't you like to hear about management styles and working environment before you sign on the dotted line?

The just-launched Glassdoor.com offers you the chance to see what salaries at various companies are like and what people think of their employers. It's already possible (and free) to see what Yahoo!, Google, Microsoft employees think of their workplaces, and what they're paid, but if you want to know about other companies, you'll have to cough up your own information.

Everything is anonymous, but getting you to hand over your salary information in exchange for seeing what others are getting paid is how Glassdoor plans to keep expanding its pool of data and make sure its information is accurate. [Source: Cnet and TechCrunch]
