Don't forget to use `ctrl-f` or `cmd-f` to search for $, €, £, and whatever other currencies you can think of and upvote the postings that contain a salary.
Same, I've upvoted everyone who provided a salary estimate. I saw this in action last month and think it's a great principle so I encourage others to do the same.
I'm not handling a salary right now. But it looks like I should. I will try to do something about it.
Just a note. To have the search enabled on a salary, values have to be normalised to something, dollars sound good to me.
As for the keyword. This is something probably HN crew could decide on. In my opinion isn't needed as long salary is in first row with $xxx or $xxx-$xxx format. But since many people seems to be interested here. Maybe would be good idea to mention something about salary in the thread description.
So create a context. Suppose you're a junior developer in Slovenia and want to know how much your peers are earning. Create a pool named something like 'Slovenia junior dev position', enter your annual sallary and post the link to the pool here.
The only thing that kind of bugs me with this app is that the amounts have to be expressed in USD, so i have to recalculate them back to my own country's currency when viewing the results, otherwise, nice app :).
z0a: Maybe specify that salary/comp should be in USD? Right now most of them are, but it's a little unclear which currency the non-US companies are in.
(Alternatively currency could be specified, but... probably more work)
