Maybe I’m too cynical but #KnowYourWorth just reads like a bunch of people with eye-watering US pay packets bragging about how much they earn under some veneer of doing social good.

Several European salaries though have been shared as well - interesting to see how pay levels vary across the continent/depending on gender/job title/education background. Maybe doing it anonymously could save the goal removing the vein of vanity?

It would also limit the risk of those numbers being used as anchor for future employers during negotiation.

I think that would defeat the initial purpose which is to help eliminate pay gaps due to gender or other factors. I believe the idea is to bring awareness to people who might be underpaid by seeing what others in similar situations are paid.

You could capture the gender/ethnicity dimension as another factor in addition to location, education and time in the industry, no?

Sure, but maybe seeing one of your direct colleagues posting would alert you to the fact you are being underpaid. It happens a lot and I think this type of initiative could help people to realize it's happening.

I agree on that. But it might be less risky to share with your direct colleagues in a more private space than public Internet/Twitter
