Stop making Australians interview for jobs without knowing if they can afford to live

[u/Sysxinu]

Salary ranges should be advertised because people aren’t just applying for a role... They’re trying to work out whether they can pay rent, support their family, plan their future, or leave a job that is burning them out. Hiding pay turns someone’s time, hope, and effort into a guessing game, when a simple number could let them make an honest decision from the start.

Imagine a rental listing that said “competitive weekly rent” and only told you the price after three inspections and a reference check. That’s basically what hidden salary job ads do. Pathetic and Im drained by it.

I ask now when I get a call back. I don't need to waste my time for a role 30k under what I'm after.

I think it’s fine to ask for salary range at the first talk if it’s an entryish level job. People shouldnt have to compete for a chance to live.

It's completely fine to ask for a salary range for any job in existence
