I see this a lot with startups hiring on Angel List. Angel List makes them specify a salary range so they do, but always offer well below the minimum.

At best they are blatantly insulting the candidate, at worst they are liars. Probably both.

wow, they've all been from angel list for me too! i didn't realize the connection till now.

Sorry to hear about your experience. We take abuse like this seriously. If possible, could you email me the names of the companies at amit@angel.co?

I think it's awesome that you take this so seriously. I also think it's great that you ask companies to be upfront about compensation (I say this as an founder). It irks me when companies aren't forthright with potential hires.

Definitely replying to this, I've had this happen more than once at the offer stage.
