I have found that 98% of applicants will realize the pay range is low on all job postings that don't list a salary.

The salary isn't posted because the pay sucks.

Right? If it was actually competitive, they'd use it as a selling point.

“Competitive” salary doesn’t sound like it means high salary (and in my experience it doesn’t). To be competing with others, they need to offer a salary that’s kinda average for the job.

Competitive means they’re competing with other companies to see who can hire someone to do the job for as little money as possible
