A role listed at 170k after two interviews told me the team is targeting 150k. Is this how things are done these days? Why would I sign on with a company that breaks their word on day 1?

Yep. Bait and switching is the new norm. "Why would I sign on with a company that breaks their word on day 1?" YOU wouldn't, because you realize this for the trash behavior it is and aren't desperate enough to put up with it. The thing is, very few people looking for work are in the same position. If you're unemployed, you're not going to quibble over this, you're just going to accept it. That's what companies are banking on when they do stuff like this.

You tell them you are targeting 190k and settle in the middle. If what the role is listed at is completely out of the question, I’d move on unless I desperately needed the job. Bait and switch will be a recurring theme.
