Are companies rarely posting salaries for their entry-level job listings anymore? Every application I fill out forces me to input my desired salary first. I feel like junior roles do this way more than senior ones. Is this a widespread issue for STEM job seekers?

Certain states have mandated that salary ranges get posted. But that doesn’t mean that they have to be “realistic”, unfortunately

It’s a red flag for a ghost posting. I work in staffing, ghost posts are a real thing we do for clients. There’s a lot of reasons for it, main reason is to grab market data for candidates and keep a database of individuals. I think some places are making laws against it but it’s really local laws

I'm naturally feeling a bit weary of his character and questioning whether this is a friend I want to keep close in my life. Perhaps I'm being too judgmental?

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?
