WashTech members know that many high-tech workers often wonder "How much do other people make that do my job?" Many employers have unwritten corporate policies that forbid you to talk with your co-workers about compensation. These policies are in violation of federal labor law; most high-tech workers don't know that they have the right to freely discuss pay with co-workers.
How much should you be making? In an effort to help you answer that question, we have created a comparison of salary information from four recent wage information sources: Milliman and Robertson WashTech, WSA, and the Washington State Employment Security Department.
Compiling this information is time consuming and expensive. An individual trying to track down and compile this current wage information would incur costs in the thousands of dollars. Together, we can pool our resources and share the information with each other. We believe that when it comes to wages and benefits, everyone that works in the tech industry should have access to the same information as their employer.
