When you are looking for a job you should know how much you're going to make.
So fukking simple.
When you are looking for a job you should know how much you're going to make.
Had a recruiter accidently tell me the max the company could give me and promised me if I was hired I'd get that much. During negotiations, the project manager told me a number 10k less than that number. Told him "based on my qualifications, I'm worth ...., and the recruiter told me what you guys are willing to give" dude got quiet so fast. Got hired, everyone that got hired after me, I asked for their wages, and it was about 10k less than me.


Always ask the salary range for a role...Ask what junior positions and senior positions in the role are paid(if they tell you they can't say that is already a strike against them.....I dont care what anyone tells you...You are interviewing the company as well)
always ask what it takes to move from one part of the range to the other...
Ask for it in writing....If a company is hesitant or unwilling to put things in writing( they are lying or trying to manipulate/lowball you
Reach out to employees in the company beforehand...a coffee and a chat might get you further than you even imagine
Assume they are lying...if you are interviewed by a white person they definitely are
and the council is led by women who are supposed to be concerned with the pay gap, guess JP Morgan cut the check![]()


Always hear a line like this quoted:
"In New York City, white women earn 84 cents on average for every dollar earned by white men, according to a December 2021 committee report by the City Council. The figures are 63 cents per dollar for Asian women, 55 cents for African American women and 46 cents for Latina women."
Those numbers don't seem particularly useful unless we are comparing people that work in the same roles at the same company.
Comparing 10 white male investment bankers to 10 Asian female 1st year CPA's, 10 Black nurses etc., ain't exactly apples to apples.
We all know white boys get paid more to do the same work but just saying everyone makes less than white dudes in aggregate....ESPECIALLY in NYC with all the white boy trust fund babies doesn't tell us much.
It should be a requirement in every state

Among the other concerns, she said larger businesses risk getting out-bid by competitors if they make their salary ceilings public. She said the public postings could also spark salary inflation during a hiring crunch when current workers see a maximum posted that’s much higher than what it’s been historically.
