I've noticed that many job postings now emphasize "competitive salary" without specifying numbers. It makes me wonder how often companies use this vague term to attract talent while still underpaying. It’s frustrating! Have you encountered this, and how do you approach salary discussions in such cases?

you can use it to your advantage, when you come in for an interview, you should have a ready response of " the current range for this position is from x amount to this amount" and be able to defend the higher salary you are asking.

This. You do you research so you know what a competitive salary is. This way they can't lowball you.

In the caregiver field, 99% of the time, the competitive pay is listed such as $18-$22. Usually, they don't deviate from this range. Also, your pay is within this range depending on how experience you are.
