In our newest “how can we help you?” thread, a reader writes:

I have been extremely lucky to receive a TT offer this job market season. The salary they are offering me is higher than I expected and I kind of just want to accept it and be done with the job market, but everyone tells me I should negotiate for a higher salary! I don’t really know how to do this, especially since I lack other offers. I guess one thing that could help is an idea of what starting salaries people make elsewhere, but I’m finding this information pretty hard to find. Does anyone have any advice or a good resource? Some time back I remember coming across an excel document someone had shared collecting anonymized information about people’s salaries in philosophy, but I can’t seem to find it.

Congrats on the job! We had a thread on this a couple of years ago (see here), but aside from that I don’t know of any good resources here. Anyone have any tips, resources, or other advice?
