IMO, salary range must be mentioned with job descriptions!

A candidate investing so much time & efforts to pass through the entire interview process only to know that their compensation will be lesser than what they're currently paid is very frustrating.

    Well, it can take just one email, like.

    "Range plz"
    "We don't disclose range"

    i recently was applying for jobs and found that companies are doing this , but in reverse:

    A : i find a good job listing without salary, i click it > it redirects to LinkedIn form asking for my current and expected ctc before submission. if my expectations are in their budget , i will get a call

    B : some recruiter finds my profile somewhere, calls me, asls my expected ctc and tells me their budget if my asking is too high

    Ooh, power metal fan.

    Feanor was just a dev angry with his Valar managers.

    We'll get along 😄

    @MeowHeart In some lost appendix, they fixed that by introducing a visual dashboard where the KPIs of each Vala are updated once per century. Every 500 years, there's a VR (valar resources) review where possible career changes such as world dominance can be discussed early on.

    Maybe MAGA meant Make Aman Great Again in the first place... 🧐

    I hear in Germany it's legally required.

    @lorentz It's not. Maybe you mix that up with Austria?

    @MeowHeart can't say I agree with that. Here after the technical assessment your level is decided and there is a range that Congress with that. The ranges are transparent and told before you go in and do the assessment.
    Obviously an expert will have quite a gap over a medior (we have junior, medior, senior, expert/specialist, leadership levels).

    I do hate it when job descriptions don't give any indication at all. And I hate not being able to name the "market leader" company bs even more.

    @MeowHeart yeah that I agree with is just bullshit. That is not even providing as much as a range a providing a direction with a 360° angle.
    No way that is remotely the same position even with different experience/skill level.

    I was just pointing out that, if not a specific skill level is indicated, it can be valid to have ranges larger than 25k. A 60-95k range for example.

    I would rather they get the job description right rather than bait and switch after you join. “You’ll be working on an interesting project but here is a 30yo code base that needs modernizing over the next 2 years.”

    How many times have you started a new role and you spend the first few months doing courses of stuff you didn’t claim to have experience of on your resume? Maddening.

    I can see why they don't.

    I assume one big reason is that the person hired last year for the same job would be bummed if they see a job listing showing more than what they got

    (They might be stuck on a lower rate - even if they will get a raise, and it will be retroactive, the salary talk might not have happened yet)

    Not saying it's a valid argument but just a thought
