Listing salary ranges is bad for employees because it limits upside from negotiation. Like everything it's just a trade-off between capping your downside and limiting your upside.
- godelski 4y agoI got a solution. > Position pays 100k+ depending on experience. Solved. Or potentially > Position pays 100k-130k+, depending on experience If a company isn't getting applicants, boost that baseline.
- codegeek 4y agoMost candidates overestimate their ability. No one would like to hear that they should get the lower end of the range because well they didn't deserve the higher range.
- godelski 4y ago> Position pays 80-130k+ depending on experience but no one actually makes under 100k and 80 is only here to make you feel better Solved.

- ManlyBread 4y agoI have successfully managed to negotiate higher than the supposed maximum. I applied for a regular SE role and when I stated my expectations the recruiter said that this is over 10% more than the maximum. I stated that if I go any lower than that I will have no reason to switch companies. He offered some sort of a signing bonus (which was rather small) and the promise of quickly getting into a more senior role, which would put me in a higher pay range. I didn't budge. They came back 3 days later and actually offered me the senior role, the pay I wanted and a signing bonus that was 4x what previously offered and I accepted.
