Saw a job posted last week with a salary range of $𝟵𝟵𝗞–$𝟮𝟮𝟱𝗞.

So I asked the recruiter the question no one ever does:

“𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘢 $99𝘒 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢 $225𝘒 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦?”

His answer?

“𝘈𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘭𝘦. 𝘞𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘵.”

That’s not 𝗽𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 that’s 𝗽𝗮𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. Agree?

Some states and cities require companies to post salary ranges when they post jobs. Their passive aggressive way to comply with the law but not provide any useful information is to post a range like you're describing. In any event, the upper parts of those ranges are almost always unattainable, those mythical candidates would have several degrees, decades of experience, and the ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

Damn I think you just described one of the avengers lol but in all seriousness this kind of salary info helps no one

That is the biggest argument against salary transparency and compliance: the companies go out of their way to find loopholes. The wide salary ranges drive me crazier than seeing no salary listed.

Same here! It amazes me that they are allowed to do this. Terrible way to lead on potential candidates with these types of ranges

Need help thinking through this…Debating leaving to a tech startup. Very early stage ($3-7M ARR), would have a big role leading strategy and Ops. It’s a cash paycut, which is a bummer but the equity would be pretty good. Just nervous about leaving before hitting the full manager role and taking a paycut in this market to bank on equity. For those of you have left, what kind of questions did you ask yourself to know it was the right time?
