re: Colorado: If you don’t disclose job opening expected salary…..

What do you think the starting range is between two new hires before it was disclosed?

You hire two entry-level accountants, One for $50k one for $100,000?

You're talking a max of 20% variance. You have a budget for a position, you have to be able to monetize the person's work. How can you know that from the onset? Some new hire you never met before nor seen them produce, is going to revolutionize things for you..... So you pay him in advance for that?

Typically, you bring somebody in and then raise their earnings because you don't want to lose them... After they proved to you what they can do.

The reason most white collar job salaries aren’t posted is because new hires are often paid more than current employees with years at the company in the same position. They don’t want existing employees seeing those numbers.

This right here. I’ve seen this first hand. Unfortunately, your biggest jump in pay will most likely be when you change employers.

I don’t want more laws, though.

About a year ago (regarding the O&G industry) there was a study done about how often you should change jobs and companies.

This study claimed if you were a career BP or Exxon guy, you were actually making much less in earnings than a guy or gal who changed roles and companies every 2-3 years. The difference was quite flooring.
