With salary ranges now being included in job descriptions, aren't people now looking for the highest end of the spectrum in terms of their compensation expectations?
High pay? Wouldn't the range reflect what company is willing to pay anyways?
It reflects the range of what they’d be willing to pay a borderline candidate to a top tier candidate. I think the point here is that the well documented “Lake Wobegon effect” states that everyone thinks they are above average. So average and marginal candidates will expect top candidate money.
They get the best candidate for that range they have pre approved.
A good recruiter sets expectations at the first screening. Then from their you negotiate as usual but at least you know the upper bound and won’t wast everyone’s time if your expectation isn’t even in the range.
Always ask above the maximum
Half meaningless given how often equity isn't listed. Would rather take 150 salary + 300 sellable equity over 200 salary and no equity.
