Even with a throwaway, isn't that enough info for Amazon to identify you and possibly take punitive action? I understand that Amazon is big, but without adding a certain fudge factor or range to all the numbers, then I would think it's possible to identify a person.

how would that prove that it was actually her/her though? It could be easily be one of her higher ups who knows his salary details.

Alternatively it could be completely made up numbers that happened to match a real person.

Punitive action for what? Revealing information that is already on sites like http://h1bdata.info/

What was your experience coming into this position?

3 years working at a small startup which eventually folded. I am in my late 20s.
