Glassdoor isn't really that accurate. It doesn't reflect current market rates, it shows rates for the duration of the time the website has been around. Also, there is massive selection bias about who puts their salary up there

That's kind of interesting problem. We did thought about it, but since it's just a quick demo project, we didn't bother.

1. How to measure a credibility of data people submit?

2. How to take into account ageing of data? E.g. due to inflation.

That's a good point. I imagine in my case that could mean that my rate is even worse than it would have been during their terms. I guess it's pretty near impossible to determine an accurate measure without polling my current coworkers and bosses. haha
Best way to know current market is to ask a recruiter who will be honest with you
