| I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but I don't understand why someone would post their salary in a public forum. Perhaps people believe the anonymity of the internet will keep them safe, but if you ever intend to meet anyone from this community at a social event, now they know what you make. I'd have thought that would be personal information. | |

This is very much a matter of culture. In parts of the US for example it is completely normal to openly discuss salary with strangers. In parts of Switzerland one would divulge one's bank card PIN code before one's salary statement.
