Oh wow, here's the disclaimer on a marketing job for Abercrombie and Fitch [1] and [2]:
"This position is not open to applicants residing in or otherwise based in the State of Colorado. The work location is flexible if approved by the Company, except that the position may not be performed remotely from within the State of Colorado."
I looked at one of the links on the site for Spotify, but I couldn't see any mention of Colorado on the job req [3]. Maybe it's somewhere else?? [4]

- andrei_says_ 5y agoIsn’t this a signal for a pay so low that publishing it would be disastrous?
- namelessoracle 5y agoWhats weird is that there are plenty of hacks for companies. I have seen one posting with a range of 50 to 200k with a proviso of "Salary based on experience, education, location, blah blah".
- tschellenbach 5y agoI mean that's not so weird, for some roles pay is standardized, but for other roles like a software engineer, or an AE it can vary widely based on experience. And nobody wants to post 7 job postings with level 1, level 2, level 3 etc.
- namelessoracle 5y agoThe weird part is that its an easy way to dodge the restriction, so why do exclude Colorado instead of the easy hack? 50 to 200k doesnt tell anyone ANYTHING about what kind of salary they will get, and people might go in expecting the 200 when 80 is the real offer to expect. Only reason I can think of is they dont want to argue with people who start demanding the 200 sense it was posted
- MattGaiser 5y agoI suspect a lot of it is just corporate policy. Someone would need to make the decision to post salary bands.
- nhumrich 5y agoNo, its legal and HR saying its better to exclude Colorado than expose salaries. Doesn't mean they are low. It means they are unknown.
- oh_sigh 5y agoI wonder what happens if you secretly go and do work from Colorado, say long enough to need to file taxes in CO. Surely you'll be fired eventually, but if you get away with it for long enough, would they be compelled to publish their salary whether they wanted to or not?
