LinkedIn has launched the LinkedIn Salary product feature in India, which is a definitive resource for job salary data. The tool will enable job-seekers to make more informed career choices as it allows professionals to gather deep insights into the compensation landscape, including bonus and equity data for specific job titles.

It also provides insights into the different factors that impact pay such as years of experience, industry, company size, location, and education level, and in turn, make more informed career decisions. The tool draws on data from the network’s 53+ million members in India, to provide an in-depth view of salaries across professions. 

Speaking on the launch, Ajay Datta, Head of Product - India, LinkedIn, said, “At LinkedIn, we are always helping our members make informed decisions about their career to help them get closer to their dream job. In India’s competitive jobs market, LinkedIn Salary will help create salary transparency and empower our members with reliable data on what companies are paying today, what kind of compensation packages to expect, and how salaries vary as per industries and educational qualifications.”

He added that this will help professionals, including students and career starters, negotiate better salaries and optimize their earning potential.
