Why your 2024 salary data is already outdated “Am I being paid what I’m worth?” It is the question that creeps in whenever you update your CV, see a former colleague announce a punchy pay rise on LinkedIn, or notice a recruiter slide into your inbox with a role that looks eerily similar to your current one—only advertised at £20k more.
