> The real question is why aggressive negotiation for doing the same job should lead to fairly different salaries.
Because the most effective and stable reason to use in negotiation is that you are better and more valuable than the field of other employees and applicants.
There are multiple people with the job “MLB pitcher” or “NFL quarterback” and all their salaries are public. Is it surprising that some of them make wildly more than others?
I think the range of talent and ability for people with the job “senior software engineer” is much wider than the range of talent of “NFL quarterback”.
