Has anyone created a Google Doc to share salaries?
I notice that other job subreddits use a Google Doc to share information such as salary, location, job title, and type of institution. Has anyone in r/FinancialCareers done this? If not, it could be a useful tool to start and cut down on the amount of salary questions in this subreddit.
One response
Creating a Google Doc to share salaries within the r/FinancialCareers subreddit can be a valuable resource for the community. Not only does it provide transparency and insight into the compensation landscape within the field of finance, but it also helps individuals benchmark their own salaries and negotiate fair compensation.
To start a salary sharing Google Doc, you can create a new Google Sheet and set it to shareable link access. Within the sheet, include columns for salary, location, job title, type of institution, years of experience, and any other relevant factors. Encourage users to anonymously fill in their information to maintain confidentiality.
To kickstart this initiative, you can make a post on the subreddit announcing the creation of the Google Doc and explaining its purpose. Encourage members to contribute their salary information to help build a comprehensive database for others to reference.
By starting a salary sharing Google Doc, you can help reduce repetitive salary questions within the subreddit and empower individuals to make informed decisions about their compensation. This collaborative effort can benefit the entire community and create a more transparent and supportive environment for financial professionals.
