Reply to comment by TheChef44 in How NYC’s pay transparency law could help millions across the U.S. earn more money by strawberrykid_sg

Some are, sure. But my state does not have those laws and most of the job postings I see have them so it’s clearly having a positive impact.

That’s good to hear. I just can’t stand seeing salary ranges from 80k-210k

As a side note. That literally is the range of my position. I may come in at 130 with 10 years experienc. But the new guy will get 80k. However my senior peers with 20 years of experience will land closer to 200k. Also depends on degree. But that is an accurate range for a senior specialst.

Same in my field. We are offering a guy 85 right out of school next week, I make near 150, and our top specialist makes about 180. It's a technical field where experience matters.

Either that or they just add in the job description they aren't hiring people in Colorado.

Why? You ignore the 210K.. I see that and I see salary 80K so when I see another company with a salary range of 100-150K I know to avoid the first one. ALWAYS ignore the 2nd number.

Many companies have listed salary ranges for decades, well before this law.

"so it’s clearly having a positive impact."

somebody doesn't understand correlation vs causation...that is the real missing point.
