I’m interviewing and have found the salary ranges on job postings to be inaccurate, or at least inflated. I’ve spoken to multiple recruiters who didn’t know the range posted. Let’s say the post says $130-170K. They will tell me the job maxes out at $140K, and they have no idea why the range goes that high. That’s a big difference. Anyone else expediting this?

Report it. Sounds like they're baiting people unless the recruiters aren't in the know. The salary posted should be accurate.

Is this a mismatch between the range of the position and the range of the specific opening? Sometimes openings have budgets but once the person is in the role the range they can expect with yearly raises is the higher end? I am not sure exactly what these laws specify across states.

Would be interesting to hear from someone who knows the laws from each state. Are the laws about the range for the specific opening or does the law require the range for the position in general? The companies might be following the law and it’s having unintended consequences because lawmakers didn’t know there was a difference.

I've had the whole range lowered because of my location :/. Even though the posting didn't say anything about location being a factor.

On the brighter side, my current job offer was negotiated to above the max range number. Not sure what this means in terms of bands and such but it's all inconsistent.

That’s good to hear!

I applied for a job within my unit that I do not qualify for. Now, I have an interview for this job.

Has anyone felt this way?
