alt Hacker News> The concept of range isn't useful to ask though. If you say my range is $x to $y, all the company hears is that you'll work for $x. The $y part is irrelevant. Learned this early in my career, where every "$x to $y" invariably became an offer for $x.
Disagree, I've had "my range is X-Y", and the recruiter told me "for this role the range starts at Y+20%, are you ok with that".

It depends on the recruiter and how they work - someone asking for $X-Y when the role is $1.2Y could indicate that there's a role mismatch or a duty mismatch.
