Postings in Canada now include a salary range for most postings (I think New York does the same), have you found this has helped you in negotiations or does the recruiter still give a figure in the midpoint? I notice the ranges are quite large still so I never know

"I notice the ranges are quite large still so I never know." That's by design. It allows them to remain technically compliant with the laws without giving away too much info. This isn't in place in my state, so I try to ascertain budget for the role during the initial interview or call to see if it's worth my time.

It’s so frustrating but yes agree usually it’s the first round with HR where you can learn a bit more

In some US states and cities it's legally required to post salary ranges. And, of course, the companies follow the law in the most passive aggressive way possible, posting ranges that are so broad they mean nothing. The top of those ranges are always out of reach, and just there to impress people. The lower middle would be the most realistic numbers.

I definitely agree, that’s what I’ve observed once getting on call with a recruiter

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
