It's strange to me that US job ads don't state the wage being offered.

In the UK a ballpark pay figure is normally expected information

Depends on the industry, I see lots of management/marketing/bizdev job postings which just say something along the lines of "competitive salary offered", including roles where you'd guess the salary might be £20k or £150k.

'no one states salaries, but trust us - ours is competitive!'
