The feature would let professionals on the platform gather insights into the compensation landscape, including bonus and equity data for specific job titles along with the different factors that impact like years of experience, industry, company size, location and education level and, thus, make more informed career decisions.

Free members on the platform can access the complete LinkedIn Salary experience by contributing their salary data while LinkedIn Premium members would be able to access the feature without divulging their salary information.
The feature also provides insights on top paying locations, top-paying companies, salaries based on educational qualifications and industries, regarding a specific job title.
