I'm real quick to look at ones that have an actual hourly range. For ones that list an annual range, it's gotta have something else to really attract my attention. If there is no salary posted, I'm moving on. They're going to low ball and low ball badly if they aren't proud of what they are offering.

I've taken too many leaps of faith with new roles without nailing down compensation first. Now, I ask right up front. Saves everyone time.

Taylor Reis

Research company to see if there is a median salary listed anywhere and if company has any employee reviews listed. If none is found, I would apply and see what company had to offer as money isn't the only thing I am interested in.

John Butkovich

Salary is something that should be discussed based on experience. There is no "cookie-cutter" way to know what someone should make. We have that discussion once we get the person in front of us

Linda Gerstenberger

I would apply anyway only if the position looked really relevant and interesting to me...I mean really interesting.

Ian Lindsey

I would reach out directly to inquire about the compensation. Honestly, it does raise questions for an individual looking for work because it elicits the question of what’s the reason it’s not posted.

Kristopher Young

If the salary isn't listed, usually that means it is too low and they are afraid no one will apply.

christopher champagne

It’s a waste of time to take a half day off to do a full interview to only then find out they are not paying what I was expecting.

Steve Hamre

I would ask soon into the interview.

Wes Norgord

If the salary (or range) isn't posted, I'm looking at the next one. I'm proud of what I bring to the table, and a prospective employer should be proud of what they can offer. As with many things that include a price, if it's not listed, it's probably embarrassing.

Richie Del Puerto

Research or call and inquire what the salary range might be.

Gregg Marrapodi

many times you can tell from where the ad is coming from if they are in your league. Sometimes there are hidden diamonds in those ads

edwin lipford

If not listed elsewhere I’d probably wait and shoot them an offer at the interview because after all the only way you’re gonna get paid what you want is if you ask for what you want

John Kosaniak

The reason alot of shops do not post salary is because this job has to do with experience, A tech B tech C tech, so how do you figure this out. Pay a guy A tech wage to find out he is a C? (edited)

Liz Avila

Depending on the job. If it seemed enticing enough and I knew that the company paid well from word of mouth, then I would apply.

Donald Allen

See if the salary was listed elsewhere. If not, move on to the next posting.

Jay Emery

Some states are required to show a salary range- Colorado.

Kenneth Colavito

I would determine a valuation number based on my skillsets and experience. Then, during the interview, I would provide evidence, such as credentials, to prove my valuation. I used this strategy once and was hired at a salary slightly over my valuation. I came up with the idea based on my experience in the stock market trading publicly traded companies where market analysts continuously discuss valuations.
