It always annoys me just a bit when a company posts a job announcement that says competitive wages or competitive salary but then don't post what the salary is.

From my experience when this occurs the wages usually aren't that competitive.

Why not post at least a range? Then the perspective employee can determine if it's competitive or not.

As for me when I go to an interview I'm interviewing the employer too. I want to know about benefits, wages, work hours, and family life and work balance.

Some people walk in with the I'm a good employee and money doesn't really matter. They are afraid to talk about salary upfront for fear of turning the employer off.

Me if they can't talk salary first then there's no need to proceed. It's not like I'm there to do the job for free or for as low a salary as possible.

If the salary isn't what I want then why even waste time talking about anything else?
