Money is a taboo subject that generally, people are uncomfortable talking about it. Whether that’s personal finances, salaries or debts - as a society we tend to hide this information and not discuss it with family, friends, or colleagues.
This perpetuates financial illiteracy and can have ongoing negative impacts on our own attitudes, and how we go about these conversations. In their recent report, Haystack take a look at average salary bands for roles, compared to the expected salary for those roles.
