Hey everyone! π Let’s talk about the importance of knowing how much a job pays before applying. πΌπ°
I recently read a post about someone saying they don’t apply for jobs that don’t show the salary, and it really got me thinking. Here are a few reasons why I think knowing the salary upfront is crucial:
* It shows respect for the employee’s time and commitment
* Helps in planning for the future and managing expenses
* Avoids any surprises or disappointments during the hiring process
I completely agree that companies should be transparent about the salary right from the job listing. It not only saves the applicant’s time but also sets the right expectations from the beginning. π
A possible solution could be companies including a salary range or at least a minimum starting salary in their job descriptions. This way, both parties can determine if it’s a good fit before investing more time and effort in the hiring process.
What are your thoughts on this? Have you ever faced a similar situation while job hunting? Let’s share our experiences and ideas to make the job application process more transparent and beneficial for everyone! π‘#TransparencyInHiring #CareerPlanning
100% same.
If they arenβt proud to display the salary range then they arenβt paying well. These places depend on desperation to motivate employees. Stay away would always be my advice
This is going to make your job hunt a whole lot easier.
Same here.
It makes no sense not to list them. You list the price of pretty much every good you might think of selling so that people can factor the price into their decision. Even in some luxury goods where they don’t like the price (e.g. hotel rooms), you should be able to figure out the price with one phone call. It makes no sense that for the most important product you might purchase all year that the price is not listed.
From a company’s perspective, price transparency is normal too. You would never enter negotiations for a new contract with a new supplier unless you had some idea of how much it might cost you. It might be normal to not get a detailed quote until you sit down with a rep and figure out exactly the specifications you want, but you wouldn’t even begin that conversation unless you had some expectation that they have some options in your price range. If you have tens of thousands of dollars, you are not going to meet with a supplier whose cheapest options begin in the millions.
It makes no sense to me that this sort of transparency isn’t normal.
Nobody should kid themselves that their bosses and the people in charge neglect to find out how much prospective gigs will potentially pay THEM before they even respond to an email. They all absolutely do, every last one. They sign sanctified contracts guaranteeing payouts and golden parachutes no matter what happens to the company, and guaranteeing place #1 in the cue, in worst case scenarios.
So why on Earth should work-a-day people struggling to survive on $75,000/year follow up on these, “Door #1, Door #2 or Door #3” bullshit bait-and-switch offers that refuse to talk salary until way deep into the process? Especially when $1 to someone small-time means so much more than it does to the CEO?
