Back in 1992, some folks at CERN decided to put scanned photos of “the CERN girls” in some sort of “information system” the guys had just invented and were calling the “World Wide Web”.
When they posted this image online they couldn’t have imagined that pictures of women – in far lesser clothes eventually – would be an incredibly powerful and possibly the biggest driver of the internet for the next decade!

The idea behind Glassdoor is simple: You tell me your salary, and I’ll tell you mine. The stealth startup, which raised $3 million from Benchmark Capital last March, just went live. The site collects company reviews and real salaries from employees of large companies and displays them anonymously for all members to see.
The idea is to collect as much detailed salary information and feedback for every job title at a company so that job seekers can know how to evaluate an offer, and current employees can see how they are doing relative to their peers.
So how much does a Google software engineer really make? Adding salary and bonus together, the Google engineers that have entered information on Glassdoor average $112,573 in take-home pay. (And then there are stock options on top of that).
