throwaway6977 made a perfectly logical point and you come back with the most BS comment I've seen on HN in a long time.
> We don’t just come out and say that, otherwise everyone will want the top end of the range, even if (in our opinion) their experience matches closer to the bottom or middle of the range.
Of course candidates would want the top range. You don't have to give it to them if you feel that don't deserve it.
Again, you claim don't want to waste people's time including your own, so just post range and then if people don't like it, they won't apply. What's so hard about that?
> That’s just how things work.
No it's not. Plenty of companies post their salary ranges. It's perfectly within your right to choose not too. I have no problem with that. The part I'm criticizing is your hypocritical self-justification for it.
