Being open about our comp band only results in increasing the top of the funnel but they fail the first tech screen (which is a fairly simple problem - doesn’t require any data structures beyond a hash map and the algo could be figured out by a lay person). Decided to be more cagey so I could prefilter out people I won’t want to hire anyway. Better that way.

In my experience, the guys who make $700k are public with their expectations because they’re filtering out positions they’d be unhappy with.

That’s my lived experience. We do controlled experiments on a one month cycle to refine our hiring process.
