YARJW - Yet Another Remote Job Website

quickthrower2 7y ago
Yet most of them have American jobs where you need to be base in America to take the job, or ultra low paying non American jobs. And few are upfront about salaries. I mean it all blah blah blah React blah blah team blah blah culture, apply now (which to anyone serious means tailor made cv) then what I find out the salary is half my current one 8 hours of time investment in? This is where I kinda like recruitment agents despite their sins! </rant>

  I don't even get why companies don't post expected salary range. It's a waste of time for everyone involved if there's a completely different expectation.

    "competitive salary". Oh really? In who's opinion?

    I normally start the conversation with the "talent agent" or "technical recruiting specialist" with some pleasantries and then: "Before we get to deep into this and I waste your time, my expected minimum salary is $X. Is that inline with what you are willing to offer your ideal candidate?" That way I am being the magnanimous one in not wasting THEIR time, and they can't come back with well our salary ranges are based on experience blah blah blah. Do I leave money on the table by showing my number first? Possibly, but I know what I need to live my semi-extravagant, travel-filled life, and still save.

    You would be surprised how many people don't know they are worth $40k more if they had just asked. If they start posting the range, you can bet the average wage overall would go up, and that effects runway/bottom line significantly.

All of these sites can be easily crushed by established players... Indeed, Hired, ZipRecruiter etc...

  Biggest job board out there. I've found my last 2 jobs there. However, for me as a developer, the gold standard is StackOverflow jobs. Nicely formatted, easy to find data, tags with tech skills. Very often there is a salary range.
