I have added a [salary transparency
|
|
page](https://xeiaso.net/salary-transparency) to the blog. This page lists my
|
|
salary for every job I've had in tech. I have had this data open to the public
|
|
for years, but I feel this should be more prominently displayed on my website.
|
|
|
|
As someone who has seen pay discrimination work in action first-hand, data is
|
|
one of the ways that we can end this pointless hiding of information that leads
|
|
to people being uninformed and hurt by their lack of knowledge. By laying my
|
|
hand out in the open like this, I hope to ensure that people are better informed
|
|
about how much money they can make, so that they can be paid equally for equal
|
|
work.
|
|
|
|
Raw, machine processable data (including employer names) is available at
|
|
`/api/salary_transparency.json`. The JSON format is not stable. Do not treat it as
|
|
such. I reserve the right to change the formatting or semantics of the JSON
|
|
format at any time without warning. The raw data is in `/dhall/jobHistory.dhall`
|
|
in my site's git repository.
|
|
|
|
I have also taken the time to make sure that the [old
|
|
post](https://xeiaso.net/blog/my-career-in-dates-titles-salaries-2019-03-14)
|
|
maintains an up-to-date list. I do not want to break semantics on my website
|
|
without a very good reason. By leaving the old post un-updated, I feel it would
|
|
be doing a disservice to the community.
|
|
|
|
Please consider publishing your salary data like this as well. By open,
|
|
voluntary transparency we can help to end stigmas around discussing pay and help
|
|
ensure that the next generations of people in tech are treated fairly. Stigmas
|
|
thrive in darkness but die in the light of day. You can help end the stigma by
|
|
playing your cards out in the open like this.
|
|
|
|
It can be scary to do this; however every person that does it will make it that
|
|
much more easy for the next person to do it.
|
|
|
|
Don't be afraid.
