Don't forget to upvote companies who actually post a salary range. You can search for "$", "€", and "£".
When this post series first started almost every company did so and it was to both parties benefit- job-seekers wouldn't waste their time on something with too low of pay, and companies wouldn't get applicants who were a mismatch for what they were seeking in compensation. Let's do our best too keep it that way.
- dang 9y agoThis is a form of brigading that isn't ok here, so please don't do it. It isn't required to post a salary. There are many reasons why a job ad might not, and we don't want to exclude anyone. All: Please don't do systematic voting on HN, including in hiring threads. It's not in the spirit of the site, and if we notice people doing it, we take away their voting privilege. > When this post series first started almost every company did so The opposite is true: it's always been rare. I looked through the first three months (starting at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2396027 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2396027) and didn't see one. Anyone can page back through https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring to look for themselves.
- wishinghand 8y agoI guess I remembered incorrectly. However, not too long ago (2016) it was far more prevalent. Would it not be in the spirit of openness to at least encourage it? In the past when I've suggested upvoting job posts that include salary information, it always comes out with positive upvotes, indicating that it's something that interests the community. I also never encourage downvoting.
