    What do you think will happen with Angular after 2.0?

    What would you say is the best way to describe React?

    Node haha? Dang. As mentioned in an answer to another comment, perhaps framework was the wrong terminology to use, and something more all-encompassing to reflect what is wanted wou…

    Noted – use of terminology could've been more accurate, but for the purpose of this article we tried to keep it quite simplified. Perhaps the wrong approach with regards to accurac…

    Hi Jonaldomo - could you clarify what you mean?

    I think both followup questions are valid. As others have mentioned in addition to yourself, there is wariness of companies' intentions, which ties into getting someone for less/va…

    No need to apologise - it's a perfectly justified way of putting it. Could be considered a cynical view, but justified still.

    Ah, oh dear haha.

    That's fair logic - what if other forms of compensation were included in the listed range? (e.g. top end of band + equity)

    To get in touch/an understanding of the company/team?

    Ah sorry, I've muddled myself somewhat with 'bid to play.' But what you've said here would be appropriate when it comes to the best in their fields. And not just with salary (other…

    Job titles have definitely become weirder/amgbiguous/watered down over time. Instead of salary range, what would interest you? (firm, tech stack, vision?)

    That's a reasonable assumption in all fairness. And I would agree that the other 'perks/benefits' need championing in cases where firms can't match market value (whether it be equi…

    'Decent' could have a connotation of 'good' (though that depends on the source, and the location targeted) - it's in my vernacular, but would agree, it can certainly be offputting,…

    Enjoying it at the end of the day is the key thing, on a personal level and as a team. Shame it ended, but seems an understandable reason. Now, having an ex-POTUS reading their is …

    It is admittedly not a totally methodical study, but the discussion is sort of compelling. Human nature would suggest as much (we'd certainly hope for reciprocations of actions tha…

    a-d are all valid points, and (c) is certainly one crux when it comes to listing a higher-paying jobs - is listing 'competitive' the only way of combatting this (what about the app…

    Comment #9779117

    Great point re: salary bands, and existing employees reading listed job openings. Each side of the bands/'competitive' debate has +/-s for sure. By 'bid to play' do you mean a 'rac…

    Mm, it does suggest value in an acknowledging way. Any other words/phrases you've seen in your job travels/perusings haha (for better or worse)?

    Comment #9778712

    So a displayed salary range (perhaps $5-15k in swing?) in any case offers something more tangible/clear than 'competitive'? I could certainly agree with that. It doesn't confine a …

    Your rationale is certainly a strong one - salary is but only one consideration in the end. What was your experience with the former white panther like?

    'Decent' is brilliant haha! :) Not seen that one yet. Your modus operandi, and note of caution are also spot on IMO. Transparency (not just on salary, but role/skill expectations t…
