I was having a debate, and I'm looking for your thoughts. If a job posting doesn't have a salary listed, does this mean that the compensation is probably going to be awful? Afterall, why would a company hide a decent salary range?

Such a great question.. I don't get why companies do that; they can save money and time for both parties if they would list the salary. For me, if there is no salary listed, the salary is not competitive.

i think you're right. Like you said, in this day and age why not save everyones time and just post a salary.

They’re hoping to maintain some kind of advantage, and it’s still not 100% the norm to openly share salaries or ranges. It definitely would save people time, though.

I don't know if this is true across the board. However, in my experience, I would say yes. If a job doesn't list the salary, it's because the pay isn't great.

They're just hoping you'll accept the lowest salary possible without revealing that it's likely at the bottom of the payband range. I've only worked at one company that made paybands public to employees. The downside was they furiously stuck to those ranges and tried to keep everyone from going above the middle of the range regardless of experience, education, etc.

Not necessarily but nowadays most states regulate that it should be posted, don’t they? So I’m curious if it’s a big company why they would hide it

I agree

How do I get my money from them? It's a few hundred dollars
