>When we don’t have member-submitted data, salary insights are inferred using data between similar companies, job titles, location, and other job attributes.

With enough "job attributes", you can easily tie things down to an individual: who worked as <position> at <company> in <city> from <start_date> to <end_date>, doing <job_description> with <colleagues>?



Because you get salary insights when you look at job postings which means it’s an API endpoint.
