A recent Reddit post highlighted discomfort in asking about pay early in the hiring process. A user shared screenshots showing a job seeker asking for the salary range, only to be shut down by the CEO. The candidate’s LinkedIn post questioning the red flag response sparked debate on transparency in job postings.

The CEO’s response to the salary question included a range of up to $135k, but deemed the inquiry a red flag. Reddit commenters criticized the imbalance of information in hiring processes, with some refusing to proceed without knowing the pay upfront. The candidate’s rejection sparked wider discussions on transparency and fair practices.

In a LinkedIn Workplace Confidence Survey, 91% of U.S. workers said seeing a salary range would impact their decision to apply. Legislation in states like California, New York, and Colorado is pushing for mandatory salary ranges in job ads to promote transparency and fair pay practices. The debate continues on when and how salary discussions should occur in the hiring process. 1.
