Disclosure saves everyone's time
Many shared stories of long interview processes ending in lowball offers, and now insist on a salary range upfront or walk away.

Some cited research suggesting pay transparency slightly depresses average wages by discouraging individual negotiation, though it reduces inequality; others argued that's an acceptable trade or disputed the economics.
Wide ranges are hard to avoid
Some hiring managers said they hire across levels and specialties, making narrow ranges impractical; critics replied that means they should post separate levels or roles.
