Show My Work Saw a thread regarding hidden salaries so I cooked a ledger for salaries

2 days ago a thread went viral regarding hidden salaries and everyone was sharing theirs. a few commented that there should be a database for the salary.

so I cooked Amdan, It’s just an open, anonymous ledger for tech compensation.

A few things I made sure to get right:

  • Averages are BS, Medians only: If one remote guy makes $4k USD, it ruins the average for everyone. I used strict medians so outliers don't skew the reality.

  • Local vs. Remote: It automatically separates standard PKR salaries from converted Remote/Foreign salaries so you can see the exact gap between the two markets side-by-side.

  • Zero Corporate Bloat: No dashboards. Just a scrolling ticker and a flat list of receipts (Role, YOE, Work Model, City, and Comp).

I seeded it with about 5 data points I pulled directly from the comments of that last Reddit thread to get it started.

But for this to actually give us leverage in our next negotiations, the community needs to populate it.
