Its bit buggy, I was able to enter negative salary.
also needs some display consistencies like only USD amounts are displayed with a $ and others with currency ISO3

Ah, that was you:) I just noticed those negative values were being allowed. Thanks for doing that I'll fix that up. I need more validation for sure.
With the $ display I thought since the default on posting is US$ that it would be more obvious to mean USD by default in the display. I can easily change that to be US$ instead or something more uniform. I was also planning on making a converter per currency display to show real market value conversions to any currency.
What currency format would you think people would prefer? I could straight up do symbols and all?

For currency the three-letter ISO code (USD, CHF, ...) is pretty standard.

The site is localized en-US so the way it's displayed is accurate to that localization (in showing other currencies, other than USD, to be in ISO).
The better option here would be defaulting the site to the locale of the users browser and/or just localizing the whole site translations and all.
I'd like to get more feedback on this before rolling anything out unnecessarily.
