Has to be a tight range. Some recruiters try to give a non-sensical, meaningless range where the upper bound is close to 3x the lower bound.

  How is that nonsensical? Lots of times, the same nominal job might involve vastly varying amounts of responsibility or productivity. I've seen positions where 3X dynamic range would be unreasonably small, e.g. at companies which don't bucket engineering roles into arbitrary seniority brackets.

    Surely they would know what level of responsibility they expect if they're posting a job ad?
    • wyager 4y ago
      A single job might cover vastly different responsibility depending on skill or experience. It's unreasonable to expect every job to fall into a nice narrow description. For most of my career I've been something like "software engineer", as have people with much more or less experience than me.

      They might be looking for a developer, and would accept either an intermediate or senior. Presumably the job description would indicate as much.

    That just means that the nominal job title is insufficient for making a job posting. There's no reason to think that the job title, which is dictated by the internal organization and hierarchy, would be at all correlated with the salary, which is dictated by the expertise and the demand for that expertise.

    Variable such as bonuses or stock options / RSUs are not salaries and should be quoted separately.
