Salaries are clearly a critical factor motivating any expert to decide to move on to another job. On Thursday, the famous professional social network - LinkedIn just launched a new feature in India.

Using this feature, professionals using the platform can have a better understanding of the whole picture of compensation, and that includes equity and bonus data for specific positions. This feature will also involve several factors affecting salaries like work experience, education level, industry and company scale, work location, and so on. Hence, making a decision to choose the job is easier and more thoughtful.

LinkedIn claims that they want to empower their members to make the right decisions in choosing jobs on their platform through credible data.
