The salary ranges are very misleading, unfortunately. For example, posthog will only pay 120k gbp for a senior full stack in London, while they’ll pay 220k usd for the same role in Seattle. Ramp also doesn’t pay 200k+ for roles based in EU.

Since Posthog points to their salary calculator in their job posted, I listed the lowest and the highest possible values as the range.

For ramp, the $250k+ salary is listed based on their "who is hiring" post [1]. But you might be right about the salary being applicable to only US candidates.

Otherwise, I pretty much listed what's there on the job pages.

Congrats! I launched a job board recently too [1] specifically for Anon Friendly jobs (jobs where you can work pseudonymously). We have similar domain names :D One thing you might want to look into is adding Structured Data [2] for job postings. Doing so "makes your job postings eligible to appear in a special user experience in Google Search results". It could help you reach more people. [1] https://anonfriendly.com…

Thanks, I did follow your launch when it's on HN and it gave me some motivation to do this.

I was actually wondering about the Google jobs indexing, thanks for the tip!

full-time/part-time values would be great, same with fully and partly remote

If a job is part-time/contract, that info is displayed. But I guess it's better to be explicit and display "Full-time" as well based on the feedback. All jobs are fully remote.

Job boards need to focus on signals and data that matters. - remote definition plus remote where? Not everyone is US based. Timezones may be important - salary currency, benefits, rays, bonus, etc. Salary based on geo or wherever you are? - tell me about culture without a team ping pong photo - why is the company worth applying to, what's the growth rate and funding, how long in business - leadership info and views t…

And are they only hiring exclusively people whose resume show a stint at a FAANG company or a CS degree at a top-10 school?

That’s insane.
