Salary comparison is when people compare their salary and other compensation factors in order to understand the market value for their position. This practice has been discouraged by corporations for decades because their chief concern is keeping their human resources “in line”. Talent, however, should be rewarded, and discrimination runs rampant in these companies. We believe it is imperative for every person to understand where his or her compensation falls in comparison to people at their level with their background. Equal pay for an equal job is federal policy enforceable by the EEOC.
Springraise.com, the first and only salary sharing network makes it easy for people to see how their compensation stacks up versus people doing their job with similar experience and background.

The second one is a person who has hopped around a bit, changing jobs every couple years or so. The salary curve isn’t as smooth as the first example, but it shows some significant leaps. How could he have improved his compensation?
