Lazy HR trying to comply with state law that requires posting salaries. What you’re seeing is probably the company’s entire permissible pay band for that role.
Is the role being offered as remote? If so you can probably use your current location to narrow down the band.
Assume if you’re in the highest COL areas you’d be on the high end and low COL the low end.
If you have all the YOE requires you should be at least at the middle—with more experience moving you towards the higher end.
Unfortunately, you’re probably going to need to at least talk to a screener to get better numbers. But also try to use what data points you do have to come up with a target within the band and be able to justify why you’re at that range.
Red flags. Comp shouldn’t be some elusive secret. Especially after 1-2 interviews. In many jurisdictions they’re required to tell you—but you have to ask specifically.
Even if you’re not in one of those jurisdictions you should probably ask for a narrowed range.
They’re grilling you on your experience and fit for the role you have a right to find out the most important information
