14 minutes later, it now has a salary range:

> $175K-210K base compensation

'Post about the problem on HN' shows its power once again.

Now let's see if they add maternity leave to their list of benefits. They add paternity leave, but do they expect all applicants to be male?

Now it's "parental leave" :)

I suspect it was a mistake/typo (someone confused "paternity" for the general term).

Probably this. I'm also second guessing myself that _I_ didn't read it wrong lol

It says base comp, 200k is quite a normal base salary. There could be 300k equity too, who knows.

But yes, industry comp will decline if layoffs pick up steam. I've already noticed a tremendous easing in being able to hire competent people

That's because there's no penalty for paying someone outside of the range...so it's mostly posturing bullshit.

Salary is much higher than most corporate IT jobs in NYC.
