Reply to comment by itsdan159 in A job interview ended because I refused to tell them what my current salary was and what my salary expectations were. Is this normal? by RepresentativeError8
A current role I’m have open has a $50k range from bottom to top for the position. If I tell all candidates the range they will only see the high end. It’s a double edged sword.

Exactly. And as a potential employee, if you give an expected salary range, the company is only going to try to pay the bottom of that range because that's what they think you'll be willing to accept.

Your second point may be true some or even most companies. If I have a that is at the bottom end of my range but see potential I’ll pay them more. Having someone join to leave in 18 months isn’t worth a few grand of savings. However, if a can didn’t doesn’t know their own value or the state of the market that’s another problem entirely.

Why not just pay people the same? My company made this move. We just don’t have ranges anymore. You have title x you are paid y. End of story.
