There was a ton of push-back online when that law went into effect despite CA having a similar law already on the books and obviously other dominoes (like NYC) getting ready to fall.

It was fantastic in my last job search. Even recruiters that tried to "not talk numbers" until the end of the process I could just point to the relevant laws or just not continue on in the process. Plenty of companies were playing by the rules so no need to waste my time.

Can you please expand on this a bit more? I live in Colorado and saw virtually no change when looking for a new job inside and outside of the state last year. I did run across a few "no job applications from CO" as was mentioned in other comment threads, but most job postings I saw did not post salary information.

I did see a few places offering positions remotely to continental US with Colorado excluded when this came into effect. Has this obscenity ended?
