Wouldn't this become outdated once the nyc transparency law comes into effect in 2 weeks?

You would think so… but looking at the Colorado and Connecticut transparency laws companies have managed to circumvent it doing two things:

1. Creating such a large range on salaries that it doesn’t even matter.
2. Burying the salaries on their websites. Look at a site like Sephora or LVMH jobs and you have to go all the way down to find a link on salaries that isn’t even highlighted. Then you click 3 more things after that.

Companies will always find ways to make it hard for workers if they don’t want to pay you well.

Just FYI, there usually is a reason why the ranges are so large. I use a tool from the Economic Research Institute for determining salaries and for a job such as a plumber, you could have someone making $50k in the 10th percentile and someone else making $100k in the 90th percentile. There are just so many factors that go into determining a salary and these laws overlook that.

true but ik the majority of the jobs doing this aren't those kind of jobs, they are just purposely misleading

That position is on Long Island. The pay transparency law applies to positions in NYC. It's also a temporary position so the benefits may be more limited than for Sephora's full time positions.

I really think it's more complex than that. It all comes down to how the data is reported in the first place. Companies usually have to report salary data but you can have differing levels of jobs that go by the same title. Then, in aggregate, you end up with huge ranges.

Focusing on the base wage rate also doesn't paint the full picture of what the company truly compensates its employees. Company A may be paying $22/hr, and Company B may be paying $24/hr but Company A may have far better benefits (including paying more toward health insurance and lowering out of pocket costs for employees).

An excellent point. I'm all for transparency but these laws really aren't all that effective for that reason.

We have this for tech workers and the ui is very intuitive + clean.

Thanks, this is great! This is a solo project for me right now, so doing all the developing, UI/UX, and data collections so ill use this as a reference when i improve the look!

Definitely aligns with what i’m trying to build. Not just salaries, but just the fundamental belief that people need more transparency.

If you are looking for a job as a web/software developer this is a good project to show and you are definite above most college graduates I have been interviewing.

Thanks! I actually work full-time in Strategy/Ops. Learned to code in college, but hadn’t done anything with it for 5 years. This was my first real project after picking it up again 6 months ago! However, more keen actually on UI/UX thinking, my Figma sketches have been improving everyday.

Our design team is also looking to hire.

If you ever want to get your resume in let me know; or if you want to stay anonymous just let me see some samples and I can mention you to our lead designer and ask if I can give their LinkedIn to you.
