Then make it less obvious? Pay scale for this position: Grade | Pay Range E | 40k-50k D | 50k-60k C | 60k-70k B | 70k-80k

  As long as it is possible to apply specifically for a grade that seems fine, right?
• joshuamorton 3y ago
  No, because there isn't a role for which you pay people 4x others. A grade E and A+ are doing different jobs with different qualifications and requirements.

    If the 10x developer exists, why not the 4x developer?
    • naniwaduni 3y ago
      The -10x developer also exists. Even if you could identify them, you still wouldn't get to pay them -10x.

  The scale is extreme, but that is what a lot of companies do. For example, with large accounting firms, having a CPA license boosts salary by 10-25% over a candidate without a CPA (assuming both are otherwise equally qualified and get offers). With law firms, having a federal court clerkship on the resume boosts salary by 25-50% over candidates without a clerkship (at the early stages of one's career), not including a six-figure signing bonus that generally is not offered to other candidates.

    Yeah, I can pretty much guarantee you that someone with a degree from Harvard who clerked at SCOTUS is going to earn a lot more than someone who has a degree from a send- or third-tier school and a no name clerkship--at a white shoe law firm, assuming the latter can even get an offer (even before the interview). And this is not a category that is so rare that I don't know people in the former one even though I'm not even remotely in law.
