$90000-$900000 seems like sort of a cop out on the spirit of the law
- raincom 4y agoThat's what lawyers are paid for. All tech companies in California can just pick this range $90K to $900K for every tech job. That way, one doesn't need to update the salary range field for every job.
- Retric 4y agoPresumably it’s not actually complying with the law. Try telling a Jude listing a salary range between minimum wage and 1 billion per year counts as salary disclosure. That said, this could easily become the norm should enough companies do the same thing.
- tylersmith 4y agoIt's unlikely a job is actually offering $1B, whereas many engineers get $1M+.
- Retric 4y agoIt’s equally unlikely the actual salary range is 90k to 900k for the same position. The issue isn’t 900k as a number or 90k as a number it’s the vast difference between them.
- tylersmith 4y agoPeople ask for and are worth vastly diffently amounts.
- Retric 4y agoIf they can expect to get and retain someone for 90k which can do the job then it’s hard to argue anyone is actually worth 10x as much. I am not saying nobody makes 900k, just that if they are willing to budget 900k they might be looking for more from an applicant than someone whose skills only commands 90k base salary.
- a4a4a4a4 4y agoI work at one of these big companies, and at least how we do it is to see what kind of candidates we get, then compare seniority vs potential vs abilities, and decide which person is the best overall fit. This might be a junior person who gets $120k/year or a senior person that will get $400k/year. It depends on who applies, and how they would fit in with the team. 90-900k is quite a gap, but 150k-900k would be kind of reasonable to be honest.
- Retric 4y agoThat’s fair. I wouldn’t find it nearly as suspicious if they had said 250k to 900k.
