So they can underpay your ass. They will have a budget for 75k, you go in there asking for $55k thinking you’re doing something. Meanwhile, the white person asking for 82k. They will take what they are shorting you and pay them.That's something that bugs me about the private sector, folks and the companies will get secretive real quick when discussing salaries during the job search and interview process or just in general. Meanwhile the gov tells you up front what your salary range is gonna be from the jump.
Why companies so damn hush hush about them salaries?
