Find out just how underpaid you are with Glassdoor

Glassdoor
You remember how your boss told you when you were hired that you shouldn't go around discussing your salary with other employees because some of them were making less than you and you didn't want to make them feel bad? Yeah, you knew there was a good chance that wasn't true, but hey, company policy is company policy, so you... yeah, who are we kidding, first chance you got you went and compared your salary with all of your coworkers.

Glassdoor is kind of like that. But on the web. And anonymous. Anyone can submit a job title and salary for a position they currently or formerly held. You can also submit reviews of the company or the CEO. All reviews and salary submissions are anonymous, but if you're the only software engineer who worked at a small company for the last 3 years, you might want to think twice before giving away any trade secrets.

You need to register to get full access to the site. Registration is free, but you do need to submit a salary report, which helps build Glassdoor's databse. As a teaser, anyone can view data from Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, and Cisco.

Keep in mind, Glassdoor's data is all user generated. Some people may be lying about their salaries, or even about where they work. And the site is very new, having just launched this morning. So there's a good chance your company isn't even listed yet. But if Glassdoor catches on, and given the way people like to gossip about salaries, we think it probably will, the service could become a crucial part of your next job hunt.

Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
