What is Salary Fox
Navigating a modern career is a bit like riding a rollercoaster; albeit a lot more stressful at times!
The purpose of this site is to give you more control over what that ride looks like and the power to direct where it goes.
The graph below contains a snapshot of my earnings over time, which gives a good sense of when I finally started to understand how to get what I wanted out of my profession.
During the last decade, I have:
- Changed career fields (more than once!)
- Became a full-time freelancer
- Joined an early-stage startup
- Worked at a Fortune 500 corporation
...and learned a ton every step of the way. Now, it's time to pull that information together in one place for you.
About the Authors
My name is David Ramos. I'm a writer, SEO strategist, and business owner. I was the first person in my family to graduate college and earn a six-figure income. I am just one of the people who will be writing the articles.
Additional authors include my wife, Breahna, who spent a decade as a nonprofit administrator before transitioning into UX research — and doubled her salary in the process. We'll also rely on domain experts for specific industries, trends, and best practices.
Salary Resources
In addition to the articles we publish and the tools we recommend, our team likes to highlight fellow organizations that share our mission of helping people get more out of their jobs. Here are a few worth checking out.
- Salary Transparency Board — An Excel database where thousands of real people have shared their salary amounts.
- Levels FYI — A great resource for tech and engineering salaries. They also provide useful context on how "total compensation" packages work.
- Indeed Salaries — Thorough collection of income data by job title and industry. They've put in a lot of effort to stand out against other job search tools (like LinkedIn), and it shows.
