This happens a lot.

This happens a lot. Is it a remote job, where as a candidate could be hired in California or another state where it is expensive to live? Also, I am noticing that salaries have dropped substantially as there are a lot of people currently laid off.

    I'm kind of lost here. Are you asking a question? Responding to a separate post?

    My apologies. It was a response to a post.

    Would not the jobseeker or the current employee have knowledge of their salary already? The OP is asking a vague question with no details about the why of the question, so I am going to address this with a multi application view.

    First, if you are in a job position that is being done remotely and that was detailed in your job description that you would never be asked to come in for any in-office work and your salary/paycheck was determined by that position, you already know what your salary range will be, which you accepted in your agreement to take in the job.

    Now the question lies in an alternative job in the same company that you working but in the office doing it in person and you found out that some people are doing the same job ( in your mind) but at home in a remote non-office setting and you want to switch to doing your job to avoid the in office environment—it was your actual goal when you started working for the company and the only reason you took the in office position was to eventually/hopefully get switched to the remote position. But you may have failed to research or acknowledge that the company has a different pay structure for remote positions versus in office in person work. So maybe you can eventually get that ideal remote position but you may have to sacrifice your pay level income. Don’t assume that they are paid exactly the same salary.

    Hopefully this helps the OP answer the vague question presented

    Salaries have dropped? Even in the C suites?
