Show HN: A Machine Learning Model for Salary Estimation (opens in new tab)

(1) this is awesome

(2) http://glassbowl.info/ is not leading for me

(3) If you did scrape LinkedIn, you probably violated their ToS, so you may not want to admit this publicly in case this goes anywhere :)

Oops! LinkedIn error. Please check your url. But I'm pretty sure my URL is correct. It's the gray little URL underneath my profile picture? Similar to the example shown in the text input on your page?

It would be interesting to see if the model produces biased results by race, gender, age, etc.

My linkedin URL has a prefix "br." because I signed up when I still lived in Brazil. That makes Glassbowl crash and alert me the URL is invalid...

I did something similar for my side project at: http://skill.report

To avoid the LinkedIn issue, I crawled job ads (about 10M uk ads over two years), and applied analysis to them. I love your approach - I'm going to have a play this weekend :)

LinkedIn has so many amazing datasets locked up in the platform. I was keen to see whether I could reproduce the skill graph that LinkedIn has, and apply it to other problems, such as valuing and comparing skill sets and knowledge from job titles alone.

It's dead, Jim.

The demo seems to be down, but if it works the way I think it does, it is a clever honeypot for scraping warm lead LinkedIn profiles.

I'd love to talk more details with you sometime! We(PayScale) don't scrape linkedin, but we have been collecting, analyzing and predicting pay for over a decade.

It's down for me

One way to train your model would be to allow people to tell you their current salary in exchange for the analysis. Then you get more accurate salary data. Of course people could lie, but that's probably no better than the glass door data anyway.

Getting an internal server error

can you reversely try to guess how much other people earn?

it fails for me :-(

Could LinkedIn sue this person?

I like this one, it lets you play hundreds of simulated games per second, and even over thousands of years you still don't win.
