Hi,

A few months ago a friend of mine got a job in a big USA company. She suspected she was being paid less than their workmates because of her nationality (Uruguayan) and gender (female). After talking with some colleagues they created a spreadsheet where everyone from that company could share their salaries, sector, years of experience and gender. So everyone could see if they were being paid fairly.

I thought it was a really great idea, everyone should have that in their company, so I decided to build a site where everyone could easily share their salaries in an anonymous way.

Researching about this on the internet, I found some tools (like glassdoor, o levels) but there are mainly about salaries just from the USA, big companies and more complex than we would like. Also, I found this subreddit and I saw there was a survey to do exactly the same, therefore I decided to share it here, maybe some people will find it useful as I do.

If you are interested in seeing what other people in your similar situation are earning or you are happy with your salary but you want to support equality, you all are invited to visit https://knowyourworth.site . I'd appreciate any kind of feedback or support spreading the word. Thanks!

I tried submitting my information three times. Each time getting a "error submitting salary. Please contact support" with zero validation or errors on the screen for me to understand the problem.
Oh, I'm very sorry about that. I was checking the logs and I don't see anything. It is weird because yesterday a lot of people submitted their salaries without any problem. I'll continue checking to see if I find something. Sorry again.
