After watch a video on youtube about software engineer compensations i went through a research about this subject to understand better what could be the pros and cons about share info about our salary.
After a few researh and reading good things about share our salary with people around us and our coworkers, i got noticed that some people motivated by a Zac Sweer's tweet started share your salary info on that thread.
Like spoken on the video above, i saw a big problem sharing these info on social media: security
If you area a influent person and your twitter is most for business about your profession probably this reason don't apply to you. But if you are a normal person normally you will have a lot of closer people following you on your social media, like friends, colegues, neighbors, etc.
On a developed country with low criminal rates tell your salary to everybody could not be a problem to you. But for the most of people that live a different life in a poor country with high criminal rates, your neightbor know about your compensations could bring to you serious problem on the future.
So i build these simple site - following Zac advice - to share with our community our salary and according to these info we can try to know how much we worth on the place that we are and eradicate a big problem in our area:
"Pay inequality is a big problem in tech, especially for underrepresented groups like women and minorities. The best way you can help is by sharing yours."
