The exact change
"LinkedIn Salary: Requires LinkedIn Premium or can be accessed through paid subscription..." | "Most engineers I coach only research base salary..." - Career coach specializing in engineering compensation | "The candidates who negotiate most successfully in my experience are the ones who bring data to the conversation..." - Compensation analyst, technology company
LinkedIn Salary: Typically accessed through LinkedIn Premium, though it has historically also been unlockable by contributing your own salary data. | Many engineers only research base salary. They miss equity, miss bonuses, and miss benefits... | The candidates who negotiate most successfully tend to be the ones who bring data to the conversation rather than saying 'I feel like I should make more.'
Suggested change
Corrected the LinkedIn Salary access claim to note the data-contribution unlock path; de-attributed both quotes to plain unattributed prose preserving the underlying claims.
Why this is better
Corrected an inaccurate blanket claim that LinkedIn Salary access requires Premium, noting the historical data-contribution unlock path; de-attributed two unverified quotes (attributed to unverifiable 'Career coach' and 'Compensation analyst' sources) to plain unattributed prose.
