wth, I didn't know people read elpais.com outside Spain
Sorry but why ? Should those only living in the US read the New York Times ?
Is elpais like a national major? Is it similar to seeing an article from lemonde on HN?
Good. Hiding income only works for the company to exploit their workers.
I prefer inequality when it comes to pay because I will work harder than the majority.
My query with this sort of thing is always that will this do any more than remove the low and high end people for roles in companies, and maybe the people who want the highs will go to somewhere where they can be paid with more variability.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Agreed that the original comment did not add to the discourse but this response does come across as a bit harsh. Is elpais like a national major? Is it similar to seeing an article from lemonde on HN?
I have never worked in a job where you can give a reasonable pay band and routinely made 1.5-3x what other people with the same title did, before bonuses. This really only works for well-defined jobs in production, retail, and seems to bring little utility for the HN crowd.

It’s worked pretty well, you discuss it in the first steps of the process to make sure they get that’s actually how it’s going to work and then you spend your time interviewing people who are OK with the comp.
If the candidate pool isn’t any good then change the comp. And sure if you want to recruit a hotshot candidate or something nothing is stopping you from taking an individualized approach with that person.
I think people tend to overestimate their ability to game the process. Why not just say what you want.

Does this not remove the ability for individuals to negotiate up past a certain point?
Also, I'm not sure what happens if they offer more than that to someone after posting the offer. I suspect offering lower would be would be lawsuit time... But I don't think a higher offer is that much of a problem.
