Are you wondering about what jobs sound interesting and which companies you might want to work for? Do you want to know what one of those jobs at one of those companies could pay? If so, take a look at Glassdoor.com. It's a brand new site brought to you by founders of Expedia and Zillow.

Information includes reviews, ratings, company information, salaries, CEO approval rating, competitors, content providers, and more. Take a look at a few Glassdoor.com Reviews and you'll get the idea:

Glassdoor.com registered users (it's free and anonymous to register) can contribute an employer review or salary report.

This is an interesting new site. It's simple and easy to navigate, and it's an excellent way to get inside information on companies you might want to work at, including how satisified the employees are, what they see as the pros and cons, and how much they are earning.

Too many sites with the same idea. How can you believe that the salary information entered by visitors are the real number? Jobs-Salary.com has much more accurate salary information about companies.
