Welcome to Compbase, a search tool for salary insights. Compbase was built
to demystify salary data. During a job search, negotiating the right salary
can be difficult. Compbase wants to help you by providing insights with real
data. Even though there are other tools available like Compbase, I wanted to
add my own taste and insights and different sources of data. I will
gradually add more features. I hope you find this tool useful.
Disclaimer: I built this site for fun and to learn. Please bear with me as I
constantly strive to improve this website.
The first iteration of Compbase uses the data from the
U.S. Department of Labor. The data is
generated when the U.S. companies apply for work permit visa (H-1B) to
employ foreign workers. That is why this data is real, unlike many other
websites that uses anonymous, self-reported data.
The second iteration of compbase now includes salary data from state of California.
Privacy is all the rage these days, for a good reason. The gist is that
I know very little about you.
First, I use Google Analytics to track things like user traffic and
location, but nothing much more. Second, I log page visit time and
search queries. For example, if you search
Netflix Software Engineer, I will log the searched items and the
time it was searched. I don't know anything about who searched it and where
it was searched.
We used to be called Salary Ninja. Now we have rebranded as Compbase = compensation + database.
