Wouldn't it be nice to get the same job but with 1.3x to 2.5x the pay just by being at a better company?
You can tell how well a company compensates its employees by seeing how much more they pay their lower paying jobs vs the national average.
For this example, I'm comparing customer service rep jobs.
