Transparency pledge

We built this because salary transparency shouldn't require a blood sample. Unlike other sites, we don't need your email, your resume, your work history, or a 500-word review just to see a number.

Every submission is anonymous. We don't run ad/analytics trackers. No ads. No paywalls. Ever. We don't even have a users table because there are no accounts. Just salaries. Raw, unfiltered, unaveraged.

This project is open source — our privacy/product claims are auditable: github.com/andrewsbarbaro/whatdotheymake
