    Unfortunately, this level of job regularly pays 200k plus or minus a bit. So I doubt it was a fat finger unless they meant 175-395.

      Maybe they did fat finger it, but they didn’t care because they weren’t being paid enough?

        • We need to eliminate the expectation that underpaid workers will or should bust their butt for the potential of a raise.

          You treat me right and pay me well (a sustainable income) then I’ll move mountains for you. But treat me inhumanely or pay me a pittance and I’ll assume you wish I wasn’t here.

      I usually average out the two salaries and use that as their “intended” starting pay.

      So (75 + 395)/2 = 235k a year avg starting salary for an average applicant.

      The top end I consider the pay if the applicant meets all the requirements listed in the job ad.

        Good call. That’s exactly what I do. I haven’t applied to a job like this m, but it seems like a good enough way to estimate.
