Salary Transparency
Posted on Nov 2 2023
Below is a list of jobs and salaries I’ve had. Dollar amounts are annual estimates in USD. Stock is generally sold as soon as legally possible for simplicity and personal policy. Dates are rough estimates in many cases.
Why?
- Combat pay discrimination
- Help fellow employees negotiate with employers
- Reduce stigma around talking about personal finances

Micro-Rant on Titles
Also, if we talked about how meaningless “levels” are in titles, just know that… they are. They’re really just there to reflect that employee’s pay. Don’t judge by titles.
