Actually just had a discussion about this and putting the dollars out in front in the hiring process is something that more canidates are looking for in this competitive market. I'm sure it was said something like "this title (grade) pays 380k, is that's what you're hired at". Since levels.fyi has this all documented it still comes down to the interview and your ability to pass the interview and meet expectations for the level.

What they're trying to do is get you to continue with the process and potentially slow down any other interviews by putting the total compensation out there at the start.

Also notably CB doesn’t allow salary negotiation [0] so they just throw out high sounding number up front.

Weird way to phrase it, makes it sound like they just make it up on the spot

They have fixed salary per level, so they tell you exactly what you will make if hired
