#2Now lets quantify how many of them are absurd listings.
Recently saw a Senior Security Engineer role for Netflix, $100-$700k salary range.
How is someone supposed to reasonably negotiate that role? $100k is clearly a joke, $700k is clearly a salary someone got during the bubble.
Do I come in at $400k? Is $250k a bargain rate?

#3First off marketing piece masquerading as a blog/information.
Secondly how many of those are ranges like $70,000-$150,000, or $15/hr-$30/hr type positions?

#4The scariest thing about the salary transparency laws is that it makes it blindingly obvious that companies do not regularly follow the law. Adherence is both very public and easy, but imagine all the other laws being broken all the time that aren't as trivial to comply with.

#5Big tech salary postings are mostly useless, because bonus and stock aren't included and could be more than half of total comp.

#6I'm shocked to see it's that high.
I'm simultaneously shocked to see it's that low in states that require it. I suppose I shouldn't be — no law is obeyed 100% afterall — but I would have expected higher than 60%. This makes me think there needs to be higher penalties for failing to follow it.

#7I hope the next step is narrowing the ranges of "info" provided. You'll sometimes see postings like "Sr Staff Engineer at [fancy corp]: 135K-900K". Info like that is better than nothing, sure, but not by much.

This is an often proffered limitation of these laws, but there are second order effects. If someone hires a woman, minority, whatever else, at the $100k rate with the same qualifications they typically hire X group at the $700k rate, they're going to have some 'splainin' to do.

Do you mean it's a bad thing about the law? Or is a bad thing that is seeing the sunlight due to the law?

Since the job listings are public it should be trivial to compile a public shame list of companies who still do not follow the rules in those states.
