I've found the pay transparency to be very easily defeated. Companies can just post enormous ranges: "$50-$500k salary, actual salary dependent on applicant experience and qualifications" Also, it only forces companies to list the base salary, but especially in tech, that's just a portion of one's total comp. The real solution should have been this: if there are more than n people with that same role/position/level at the company (so as to preserve anonymity), the company must post the total comp distribution for that role.
