# Salary/Pay Transparency

This page lists every job we have ever held in tech, inspired by
[Xe's salary transparency](https://xeiaso.net/salary-transparency) page. They set an admirable example, and we'd like to
follow suit, as the more data pay/salary data exists, the more others can reason about their own situations.

## Salary Data
Data on this page is sourced from contracts, emails, and other communication with employers.
We do our best to ensure that this information is up-to-date and accurate.

## Your Turn!
> **(Ashe)** Please consider also publishing your salary/pay data. The more information is out there in the open,
> the better equipped everyone is to handle pay negotiation and the more likely we are to ensure that everyone is paid fairly.
>
> **(Selene)** By sharing this information publicly and unabashedly, we can end the stigmas around discussing pay
> and renumeration. These stigmas serve only to leave people in the dark and unable to argue for their own worth.
