Hi HN,

I leveraged a couple of different databases from the US government on employment and salary data to create this database. I wanted a more visual view of the data and created some visualizations to see heat maps, salary by state, etc. I hope people find this useful and are able to see what they should be earning or find a place to move where they could be making more money.

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Cool idea! Seems like there might be some big blind spots though? For example, when I search for "Data", the only thing that comes up is "Database Administrators", no "data analyst", "data scientist", etc.

    most definitely there are some blind spots I will need to fill in. Other ones I saw that were missing was UX Designer and other designer type roles. I will probably add these in the future, but want to make sure I can find a reputable data source.
