The article links to another article [0] with the following quote:

  require that employers disclose a salary range "from the
  lowest to the highest salary the employer in good faith 
  believes at the time of the posting it would pay for the 
  advertised job, promotion or transfer opportunity" on all 
  job advertisements for positions located in New York City.

So it'll be great to see employers offering an SDE salary position from 10k to 999k/year in good faith.

Without reading the actual law, I will say that all Colorado (similar law) postings I've looked at have made an effort to present a realistic salary range (90-120k depending on experience, etc).

Not sure why the downvotes.

I used to go through a bunch of H1B paperwork and the salaries listed there were indeed something like $100k-$250k.

I'm pretty sure these numbers were correct: a "senior developer" can be anything from someone who just have hatched form juniors and still struggling to find the way around to a guy with a zero bus-factor who holds the skies in the company.

Makes it much easier to avoid applying for such idiotic companies that they feel threatened by posting salary info.
