Ilona Codes for Foundsiders

Posted on

Just launched our first product called FelloWage πŸŽ‰

Often people feel certain anxiety when thinking about the salary and only guessing what their colleagues might be earning.

This issue is especially problematic in cultures and countries in which talking about wage numbers is an unspoken taboo among the employees.

That's why my co-founder and I built πŸ“Š FelloWage and are very happy to launch it today on ProductHunt! πŸŽ‰

It’s a privacy-focused platform where people can share their salaries πŸ’Έ and see anonymous πŸ‘€ entries of others.

So that many more users feel comfortable sharing their wage information and keeping it up-to-date.

Moreover, it allows the user to see all salary entries in the current company, search for other companies in preparation for negotiations.

Check it out, leave a comment, approach us on Twitter or via hey@foundsiders.com if you have any questions, recommendations or improvement ideas for FelloWage πŸ™‚

How does this improve on Glassdoor?

As far as I know, Glassdoor shows only averages and statistical distributions and doesn’t show separate salary entries. It doesn’t satisfy the questions and fears that I have set out to solve, such as: β€œWho should I look up to in my company to earn more?” or β€œHow up-to-date are specific salary entries?” FelloWage doesn’t answer the first question yet, but it will in the future via a peer-to-peer sharing feature that I’m planning in the next version.

Glassdoor does show a lot of info including a range of the salary and even split into stock options, cash bonuses, etc. It shows different salaries by job function, years of experience and even location.

But I did sign up on the platform :) Looks like you're having a manual process of vetting everyone on the platform?

Manually, yes. But it's not vetting users; it's verifying the data quality.
