It is! Completely meaningless. But pays pretty okay and it’s fun at least some of the time. Once I found meaning outside of my work I felt a whole lot better. Just do your best and don’t overthink it.

You felt inspired - so stay that way! You get to decide where you turn your attention to and what you feed your mind. So feed it with positive and inspirational things. There will always be reasons to be negative. Resist them.

What’s your take on a job listing that states “From $xx,xxx”

The particular job I’m looking at has this on the listing and I’m curious as to what their budget actually is. Do I assume a range?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.
