Show HN: See how much money people from your school make (app.transparentcareer.com)

Looks nice and could be useful! But I can't even look at what your title says without being forced to sign up.

I can't filter by educational background unless I sign up. Sorry – your preview data hasn't sold me on your site's value.

No, it's how much you can make at a given company. Unless you signup, which is a kind of bait and switch.

Just make how much you can make from a given school public and that might get me to signup, as it is (with the bait and switch) now I'm just mad.

I made this website free: https://easy-a.net/

It's free until a user reaches a limited number of searches, or if they want additional graphs. However, the base info is free (or at worse they have to refresh the page); that seems to keep people from getting too irritated. This is the one pitfall of freemium services, you have to make the main interesting portion(s) free, but keep the most useful portions opaque until they pay.

Given the title, that's frustrating me.

Just so everyone knows, to actually compare your school you need to provide a lot of information (more than just signing up). It requires info about your degree and two of the following: work experience, offers received, test scores, and extracurriculars. You an also upload your resume to get by that info.

It seems like after you enter that info it gives you info about the companies that people work for that graduated from your school. Not really that interesting as far as I can tell, and nothing that's particularly related to people who actually graduated from your school as far as I can tell. All the sample sizes were very small (between 1 and 5).

And even beyond that, if you want more info you need to pay.

No thanks.

I thought this was going to be the salaries of employees at a school. I was going to check my son's elementary school.

More email harvesting garbage.
