I'm sick of companies posting a salary "range" and you apply as your desired salary is within that range, then they tell you "sorry, the maximum we can do is the lower end of the range".....

    At least they’re posting a range! I hated when I was job hunting and they didn’t post a salary range. Then they’d call me and tell me what the salary was. It would have saved us both time if I’d known.

    Don’t interview for the job if you cannot afford to live on the lower range. I always feel like this is a scam to get really good people in there that might be desperate to see if they can get a really good candidate for less money. I’m probably a lot older than a lot of people on this forum but I’ve experienced it all.
