I have been looking at salary transparency laws in different US states. It is so helpful to see the ranges listed on every job board now. Do you think this will finally close the pay gap in the tech industry?

Not at all. Even though many states require posting salary ranges, many companies will skirt around it by putting up a ridiculous range like $85k - $225k, which basically tells you nothing. They still hold the cards when it comes to salary negotiations.

Thanks for sharing!

There’s salary transparency laws where I live and still most companies don’t put a range. When recruiters reach out with a post to see if I’m interested, I still have to ask them for the pay range and I make sure to note that it’s due to our salary, transparency laws. I wish something was being done to actually enforce them.

2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
