Interesting idea! The name is a little hard to take seriously with the misspelling.

Some of the reviews are very detailed with expected salary ranges and career progressions, and others are really sparse- the Sales Engineer for example, or the Flight Nurse which is basically an anecdote that tells you nothing about the field, how to get into it or what it's like. I'd have a template or guidelines for your reviewers, and reject anything that doesn't match the quality of, for example, the Investment Banking VP or the Crane Operator.

Finding salary ranges is pretty easy these days. Knowing what a job is actually like before doing it is not, so that's going to be my focus.

You're right some posts are really sparse. And I hope to fix that going forward, perhaps via some guidelines as you suggest.

Though, I'd prefer not forcing too many restrictions on what people share. If you envision looking at say 10+ posts for a given job, some with just interesting anecdotes about specific experiences or situations would be useful I think.

I appreciate the feedback.

That makes sense, good luck with it!
