Why do job postings sometimes not include the salary range? Genuinely don’t understand why they wouldn’t include this? I would appreciate a broad range over no range at all

My experience with jobs that have no range is that the company isn’t entirely sure what they are looking for. I also assume it’s easier to pay as little as possible because they didn’t give a range. A lot of salary transparency laws are going into effect, though, so hopefully, not seeing ranges will be a thing of the past.

Agree with you here, or they are trying to lure in a large pool of candidates with a lower salary.

And then when they do include a range, it's ridiculously large. I recently saw one for 75K-200K. what?

Yes I have had this too

Glad that some cities are beginning to require companies to reveal the ranges in their postings

They hide ranges to lowball you. If they post "$60-80K" and you'd accept $65K, they lose negotiating room. They're testing what desperate candidates will accept.
Some states now legally require salary ranges (CO, CA, NY, WA). If a company's still hiding it where it's not required, that's a red flag they're playing games.
Best move: Ask directly in first conversation: "What's the budgeted range for this role?" If they dodge, you know they're planning to undercut market rate.
Do you ask about salary before or after the first interview?

Has anyone who's worked in HR, Finance, or another role with visibility to compensation information been able to use that as leverage for salary negotiations?

To put it bluntly, I know certain people with less experience and a lower performance rating are getting paid more than me due to my role working with payroll data. I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.

Hi all. I am trying to determine if I am being compensated fairly. I am a tax manager (about to start my second year as manager) and have been with EY since staff 1. I was promoted to manager in June 2020 (during covid) and received a 7.5% raise. The class above me has mentioned they received much higher raises during their promotion years. My base salary is now approx. 97K. Any insights would be extremely helpful. Thanks!
