Two or three weeks ago, a social media post about salary lowballing went viral and, well, the interwebs blew up.

Key topics:

✔️ It's way past time for salary transparency. Many cities or states have outlawed the practice of asking a candidate what their current salary is. Others are requiring employers to post a range in each job description.
✔️ It used to be common practice for employers to make a subpar offer and see if the candidate accepted it or haggled. This is a bygone practice from a bygone era. It wasn't fair then and it isn't good now.
✔️ Just as the phrase "caveat emptor" applies to buyers, it truly is important to know your own value. Whether you are a freelancer bidding on gigs or you are a W2 employee looking for a salaried role, know your own worth.
✔️ In the same way that you might research a company on Indeed or Glassdoor, don't be afraid to do market research on current salary ranges as well.
