I'll repost an old comment of mine on the colorado law:

Summarizing here: Google listed salaries from 125,000 to 250,000 (excluding one presumably mistaken entry), for roles from L4 (L3 is new grad, L5 is Senior) - L8+ ("Director"). These don't include bonuses or equity. Bay area salaries would be something like 10-20% higher.
Facebook listed salaries from $111,000 (E3, new grad) to 239,000 (Director, E8?). Similar caveats to Google.
Microsoft listed $115,700 - $224,500 across a number of roles, again salaries higher in the bay.
Amazon, surprising no one, listed a range from 122,000 - 160K (their cap on salaries outside of the bay, where I think the cap is 175K).
Lyft and Uber didn't list roles. Stripe, Netflix and Dropbox listed remote roles but without salaries, probably violating the law. Salesforce had really low ranges. Oracle wanted me to email them, which I think also violates the law, but also I didn't want to do that.
As far as I know, the Colorado law has been interpreted (or at least theirs claimed intent by the Co legislature?) that you can't refuse to offer a remote job to Co employees to get around the law, although this only matters if you already have Co employees, in which case other provisions of the law also apply, so it's tricky.
