I hope the next step is narrowing the ranges of "info" provided. You'll sometimes see postings like "Sr Staff Engineer at [fancy corp]: 135K-900K". Info like that is better than nothing, sure, but not by much.
- zeroCalories 3y agoImo the important information is the floor. If I could be offered an offensively low number after the trouble of applying and interviewing, I don't want to bother. The upper bound is at best for outlier rock star devs that might apply, at worst it's just bait or some arbitrary max.

- esprehn 3y agoHave you seen those absurdly wide ranges outside Netflix? They pay all cash and computed their ranges in a pretty silly way that produces nonsensical lower bounds.
- tbrake 3y agoNetflix is particularly egregious but yeah there are postings with ranges like $150K-400K all over. 250K is an incredible swing imo.
- DOSUser67 3y agoI wonder if a future law could include a clause that the salary range must be smaller than the minimum salary. Like you can't have a 250k swing with a 150k minimum salary.
- singron 3y agoI've seen companies give the range for an entire career ladder even though the listing is for a specific level. The laws aren't comprehensive enough to require it, but they should actually break it down instead. E.g. SWE1 135-155, SWE2 150-175, Sr SWE 165-200, etc. They should also detail equity comp and bonus. If you don't do this, somebody qualified for Sr Staff will see a ridiculously low minimum, assume that's total compensation, and ignore your listing.
