Comment on New York City to require employers to list minimum and maximum salariesparent

Comments

For software engineering compensation, wide salary range isn't the biggest issue. It's that much of the compensation (often 25% to 60%) isn't salary: it's stock and discretionary bonus.

I haven't read the background for this law, but I guess it's meant to help people earning less than $100k, and people with less power to negotiate an initial offer.

It's meant to help people applying for jobs, the vast majority of whom don't get the job, so it's not really about the people who get hired.
