The mission? Give me a break. It’s a tool for making mobile apps. Clarity about pay is an unalloyed good for workers, and being sneaky about it is only good for bosses.
Considering the massive shareholder value creation post covid, if everybody’s salary doubled tomorrow across the board the shareholders will hardly notice anything. Stop being brainwashed.
As of 2023 if you’re experienced you shouldn’t even entertain an interview call without salary range upfront. Luckily as per my last 2 months experience (in Canada) companies are very upfront these days compared to 3-4 years back.
Why waste the time meeting if the range is 50% of what they are currently making? Post the range. Problem solved.
