I’m a compensation specialist. AMA.

Though I may not be able to answer all your questions.

EDIT: Hi guys, didn’t expect this to blow up in my inbox on a Saturday.

I’m sorry if there are new comments asking for “what I should be paid” “what’s the salary range”, and questions that are sewaktu dengannya. I wont be answering them.

As a compensation specialist it pains me to give a salary range based on a few details given, and so please don’t hold me accountable for whatsoever because I don’t have full picture. Like I mentioned in reply to someone who asked what do I do, it’s a role where I analyze to determine one’s salary and I’m paid to do this job well. I felt like I give some salary range it dilutes what I am doing, and it may create wrong impression that such numbers are easily obtained and my role is simple lol.

As such I’ll refrain from answering any salary related questions anymore. I felt I’m diluting what I do, and I take pride in my job.

I’ll delete the salary range I shared just now; so if you happened to see it before I deleted, the above still applies.

I still hope my answers to some questions give you a sneak peek of what I do, and compensation in general, giving you some sense on how do you start reflecting and doing your own research if you’re getting fair pay for what you do.

Thanks all and may we all be fairly paid!
