Salaries in job ads

Hi r/antiwork, I’m planning a move from a state that requires all companies to post salary ranges to a state that doesn’t and I’m feeling so defeated. First of all, there are far fewer opportunities where I’m trying to move, and second no one posts salary ranges. Yet in the application, they have the nerve to ask you what your minimum salary requirements are. The other day I had an interview where the hiring manager told me that the salary for the position I was applying to was $25k less than what the recruiter told me just a week before. So instead of being up front about the salary in the job posting, the company would rather waste my time with filling out the application, and going through not one, but TWO interviews. I didn’t realize how good it is to live in a state with laws that help job…


Hi r/antiwork,

I’m planning a move from a state that requires all companies to post salary ranges to a state that doesn’t and I’m feeling so defeated.

First of all, there are far fewer opportunities where I’m trying to move, and second no one posts salary ranges. Yet in the application, they have the nerve to ask you what your minimum salary requirements are.

The other day I had an interview where the hiring manager told me that the salary for the position I was applying to was $25k less than what the recruiter told me just a week before. So instead of being up front about the salary in the job posting, the company would rather waste my time with filling out the application, and going through not one, but TWO interviews.

I didn’t realize how good it is to live in a state with laws that help job seekers, so if you do – don’t take it for granted!
