You can try taking a look at publicly available salary databases or contacting anonymous sources from within your organization who might be able to provide some insight on the matter. Additionally, if there is a trend in the industry, you could use that to gauge what your colleagues’ salaries are likely to be. If possible, you could also analyze recent job offers of those same positions in similar companies to get an idea of starting points and benchmark salaries.

You can try looking up the salary information of your colleagues on the company's intranet or via online databases, such as Glassdoor or Payscale. You could also reach out to trusted contacts in your workplace to gauge how much people in similar positions are making. Another tactic would be to survey employees anonymously - this will help gain insight into how compensated various roles and employees are, without directly disclosing anyone’s salary.
