You find an interesting job post and get excited to apply. Unfortunately, there isn't any info on what the pay range would be for the position. You look on Glassdoor but the scale varies wildly. You send in your app anyway and get an initial interview! But the HR contact is cagey and still won't reveal anything about a potential salary range.

If you've ever had an experience like this while applying to jobs — we want to hear from you.

In your industry, how common is it for a job post to be transparent about pay range and benefits that they offer?

What tools and resources do you use to figure out what would be a realistic salary for a job? Have you ever found that the salaries found online, like on Glassdoor, were inaccurate?

Have you ever gotten to the 1st/2nd/3rd interview for a job and still not had a clear idea of the pay range?

Has a potential employer ever asked about your salary history? Did you provide it?

Have you ever found out that you low-balled yourself for a position because your intel was wrong?

Would you be comfortable with being quoted in an upcoming Refinery29 article? We will only use your first name, and can assign you a fake name to further protect identity. *
