“100% vetted jobs“, but also shows a position from Grafana with salary of $837k - $1004k. Hard to trust the vetting with inaccuracies of this scale.

Vetted as in, the companies are actively recruiting. Regarding the point you're making though, thank you and sorry for the confusion. The inaccuracy exists because it's (by mistake) advertised in dollars instead of the local currency. As I work on this as a new dad after my full-time job, some little bugs are bound to happen while I improve it one commit at a time. Rest assured, every feedback is taken into account.

Also what does "no estimates" mean? I would have thought it would mean explicit salaries for each post, but i see many ranges, some with ranges starting below 100k (94k, for example). I'm not making a big deal on 94k vs 100k, but the two points combined makes me (a casual observer) a bit confused on what is being vetted here.

  That's an interesting point you're raising. "no estimates" because in a lot of job boards, when they don't have the salaries for the job posts, they estimate it based on the median salary of the position. I only advertise jobs with salaries, I don't guess them. Do you have a better wording to illustrate this aspect of "no estimates"? Also, would you prefer having less jobs shown, but with a minimum $100k salary if it's a range? Regarding the vetted aspect, it's related to the fact some companies aren't actively recruiting (you can read more in the article linked in the About page of the website).

    No idea on wording, i also don't have much experience in this space so don't take my comment as critique. Rather just an observation from a uninformed user hah. It does seem the wording was my only issue. > Also, would you prefer having less jobs shown, but with a minimum $100k salary if it's a range? I don't think the range matters to be honest, but i do think "breaking" the range erodes confidence and/or increases confusion on the user side. Ie the page explicitly told me no posts less than 100k (iirc), but then showed some less than 100k - so confusion/etc. > Regarding the vetted aspect, it's related to the fact some companies aren't actively recruiting (you can read more in the article linked in the About page of the website). Sounds good! If i'm indicative of the "average user" you may want to make that aspect more prominent? But i could also be well under your target user, in which case ignore my ignorance :D Cool site! I hope to use it one day when i'm looking!

      It's true that it may confuse a user if they see a salary range outside what's advertised. I modified the logic so from now for new jobs, the min salary must be $100k+ minimum. Thank you!

I clicked through on that post, and it's a real job. It's just that it's in SEK not USD, so the low end of the range is actually $79,446 not $837,000.

  Yeah, the site listing only seems to understand dollars, but some of the postings have (of course) different currencies.

It was immediately obvious to me that that job was in Sweden. That figure makes perfect sense in Swedish Krona.
