I see so many job listings for hiring managers, and the range is something oddly wide, like $66,000 to $121,000. What factors are really determining who gets what pay? I would think location and experience for the most part, but I live in NY and have 7 years in the field, but I'm only being offered 90K. Who gets the upper end of this range??

I think the upper end is mostly reserved for people with rare industry expertise, or those hired into higher levels or management-heavy roles. Sometimes internal equity and budget limits play a part too. I really don't know the answer but this is what I think.

The upper end of the range is nearly unattainable, and a lot of factors would have to come together for someone to obtain that. As for the ranges often being so broad, that's partly a function of the law in some states requiring job postings to include salary bands. Companies comply in a passive-aggressive manner by posting a range that's so wide it doesn't tell people very much.

Yah range can vary depending on sector and level of experience but also agree with others nobody except the rare exception gets hired at the top tier. Ppl that actually qualify for the top tier are looking for that next level role, not one they are in the top tier of.

I think a lot of employers are lowballing people right now, simply because they can. It's an employer market and they can determine the salary rate, even if it's laughably low. Because for a lot of people, the alternative is losing their houses, defaulting on loans, etc.

^ i think this is a fact unfortunately! I've heard discussions about this from my own employer

Typically, they want the larger end of the range to attract people to apply. But they’re really hoping to get somebody who will work for the lower range. With a wide range like that employers are hoping applicants will think there’s an opportunity for them to grow into that larger salary.

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?
