Re:Show HN: See if you're being paid fairly with TransparentCareer on Wednesday February 01, 2017 @11:03PM (#13548006)
This is a cool service. I always struggled with GlassDoor because I felt it didn't provide great transparency into how my career would progress. Like, the biggest indicator at Amazon of how you would start and where you could go was what degree you got and the cohort you were in. I imagine this analysis being super impactful for more-specific degrees.

I'm curious to see how this translates for the BA/non-professional degree crowd though.

I don't think I have a better alternative to direct democracy, but it's not perfect either. I'd like to point out that the Swiss system is very far from perfect for the same reasons other systems are. Did everyone forget about the horrible minaret vote?

And that was a constitutional amendment referendum!
