While I support that, I also understand why some people -- especially outside the US, or in the US but outside the tech hubs -- would be cautious about posting salary ranges. Quoting who_is_firing:

> Every HN hiring thread has someone comment on how low salaries sound for a specific country they are not from. Can we stop dis-incentivizing employers to be transparent about their salaries with negative comments? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13549090

Sure enough we already have an instance of that type of comment here:

Another example from a previous thread:

That sort of comment isn't helpful.
