MORE HILL STAFF NEWS: Check out CNCT’s ‘Know Your Worth With Salary Insights’

(QUICK READ) — If you’ve worked on the Hill for any length of time, questions have crowded your mind about how your salary compares with those of others doing the same duties and putting in a comparable amount of hours.

It wasn’t that long ago that getting salary data on congressional staff positions was tougher than pulling hens’ teeth, but in recent years, thanks to transparency advocates in both major political parties, the availability of such information has taken major leaps forward.

Now along comes the happy band at CNCT, led by former Hill staffer David Tennent, with a handy web-based app that lets you enter basic information about your position, which is then analyzed to produce useful comparative data.

Here’s how CNCT describes the new feature: “Free of charge, plug in your job information and immediately compare your salary with others in Congress, based on title, experience, chamber and party. Thinking about your next job? See what sort of salary you should expect by putting in that info as well.”
