I rely on salary and pay scale websites. I’m average.

One of the positive things, I got from working at a union job, was the posted salary levels one gets to start the job and how the salary increases occur over the years with the company, provided one did not have job-performance issues. Even union jobs (unlike government jobs) don’t guarantee a position, but enough on that, as the point I am trying to make is the salary amount is known to all and bias perception has nothing to do with what salary one gets when hired and job performance at the skill required is necessary to continue working and to receive annual increases. This site has already discussed knowing the salary ranges of jobs (non-union) when negotiating a starting salary which should be either posted in the job posting or on the company’s site. Don’t let an interviewer’s bias stand in your way of getting the salary you need.
