(and, as many people will tell you, years of experience can be overrated if you're good at what you do - one of the guys on my team at my new job, who I think graduated from college in 2014 or 15, just got promoted to a level above where I got hired)
Nothing remotely compares to SF right now.
Btw not discussing salary only helps bosses imo.
I think everyone should do it except maybe someone who knows they're making way more than everyone else for the same work. And even then they should but I can understand what they wouldn't.
Look what happened to C-level once the govt passed a law that their salaries had to be exposed. They all started comparing salaries and the average CEO went from like 10x the average worker to 400x or whatever.
If all salaries were public, you'd see a lot more equanimity and generally higher salaries imo. It's a lot easier to negotiate when you have concrete evidence of someone making a good deal more than you for the same job.
