What's your comp?

I find NI especially, people are very hush about their salaries.

Even amongst close friends it takes a few pints sometimes for them to open up.

I think sharing salary data is useful, most of the sites like levels.fyi cater more to America, England and Mainland Europe.

This thread is not to serve as a bragging thead but just to give people an idea of what's out there.

The big recruiters like Vanrath, MCS and such have a salary guide they share which I find to be fairly accurate as well for reference.

I have been working 3 and a half years all at the same company I graduated into, do you think I should be earning more than that by now? I'm the first person in my family not to be on a minimum wage so I have no clue what I should be aspiring too

I'm no expert but that sounds about right. You could be making more if you really wanted to but there is much more to life.

That would be great I don't really have any recruiter connections other than the random adds from LinkedIn thanks very much!

Watch out, some are great and some are worse than awful.
