why? if its too low you can dip early in the process, if its too wide then you get room to prove yourself. There’s only upsides for the job seeker

Probably because

1) I received multiple ranges from different people, the minimum got lower and the maximum didn't change.

2) Being told "we value transparency" and then told your salary can vary by over 100% for the same level felt like someone spiting in my face, kind of like like when a cable company says "Your time is important to us, please hold"

3) Total compensation is much more descriptive than salary. Ie; I read today that the new CEO of Amazon only got 175k in salary in 2021.
