I always assume the range is $80k - $225k for companies that don't explicitly say. Compensation is typically dependent on experience, and if they're hiring for multiple roles, it's also role-dependent. If someone can provide more value to the company, s/he will always be able to negotiate for more even salary/equity.

I would rather know up front numbers to filter out the obvious ones that are not competitive even though practically all say they are.

That goes without saying. Maybe have a requirement for a currency sign would be a compromise. If a company is hiring for multiple roles then they'd be covered.
