I'm not sure why so many in this thread are so quick to condemn Colorado for this... sure, tech pay has come a long way in the past few years, but it wasn't that long ago that it wasn't very good and there were lawsuits over collusion among the industry's biggest players to keep comp down. Outside FAANG for that matter, overall comp still drops off pretty sharply. Anything that improves on the problem of asynchronous information would seem to be a good thing, and in an environment where there is theoretically a labor shortage one would think companies would be glad to share this information in order to help them attract talent. I got to a point in my career where this was one of the first conversations - either when I was hiring or had someone reach out to see if I wanted a new gig. It wastes everyone's time if we're not in the same approximate range. At many companies, it really isn't a surprise anyway - sure maybe you are coming from far away and need some relocation help and I'm remote and don't need that, but we both get the same vesting schedule, etc. Frankly, if a company is coy about the approximate structure of their comp packages all it really does is tell me that they see me as expendable. Why would I want to go someplace where we are trying to screw each other over from the very beginning of the relationship?
