What does "competitive salary" mean?

Nothing against you NI, but when I see a vague post like that, it screams "lowball." This could be $20K or it could be $45K. It's hard to tell.

 

It means competitive with factory broom pushers in the area ...

 

$30,000 to $40,000, depending on experience.

 

That's a big range. No experience gets you 30, while five years gets you 40?

 

I think that's a fair range. It's just stupid for all involved to get a bunch of applications from guys expecting to make $35K, then someone springs it on them that it's a $25K job. Or someone making $50K now, and this is the range. Now no one has to waste each other's time.

I'm not picking on you, NI. It's a pet peeve of mine in job ads. And not just in this business.

 

NI Sports, sent you a PM ...
