Husband is currently being pursued by someplace that he is interested in, and everyone we've ever spoken to is happy there. However, the salary ranges on glassdoor.com aren't what we would hope for. Does anyone have any experience with that? Do you think they update for COL/current projections or if someone posted 5 years ago it's still figured into the mix?

as realistic as the percentage of (workers who put their salary amount faithfully / all workers including the ones who did not bother putting their salary).

I realize it is a small sampling, I guess a better question would be "In your experience, is, or has it been, reflective of actual salaries?"

I think in most cases it's realistic, but as you pointed out correctly there might be some old data in there. I don't think they remove entries after a few years. So it depends on how many entries there are.

I would say, yes. Although, nothing in Glassdoor is ever verified before it is published.

I've found on average the salaries are about 5-10% higher in actuality, since GD tends to be skewed by older data. Now, all bets go out the window if the sample size is really small.
