      I kinda want to give them the benefit of the doubt because that’s just odd it seems as if someone just fat fingered the 3, because 75-95 makes a lot more sense

      But then again corporate gonna corporate soooo

        Unfortunately, this level of job regularly pays 200k plus or minus a bit. So I doubt it was a fat finger unless they meant 175-395.

          Maybe they did fat finger it, but they didn’t care because they weren’t being paid enough?

            • We need to eliminate the expectation that underpaid workers will or should bust their butt for the potential of a raise.

              You treat me right and pay me well (a sustainable income) then I’ll move mountains for you. But treat me inhumanely or pay me a pittance and I’ll assume you wish I wasn’t here.

          I usually average out the two salaries and use that as their “intended” starting pay.

          So (75 + 395)/2 = 235k a year avg starting salary for an average applicant.

          The top end I consider the pay if the applicant meets all the requirements listed in the job ad.

            Good call. That’s exactly what I do. I haven’t applied to a job like this m, but it seems like a good enough way to estimate.

        It’s no accident. I was out of a job for half the year and saw this so many times. In states where the laws aren’t specific enough, posting an absurd salary range is how companies comply with the letter but not the spirit of it.

      What that says to me is they are not looking to fill a specific position. They are collecting resumes for whatever internal backlog and, should they have a need, they’ll fill any necessary positions at those salary brackets from their resume pile.
