Absolutely respect your bravery to break the norm of such a taboo. One thing that people all don't see is the power of transparency.

This paradigm is purely to control, especially those who don't know or recognise their value.

I can absolutely guarantee that new junior hire next to you is making the close to the same or even more than you, and you will never know.

I wanted to say there is no benefit to NOT sharing your salary, but then whenever I have to speak to recruiters, I quickly remember why as there are those who will try to take advantage.
