Unfortunately, this level of job regularly pays 200k plus or minus a bit. So I doubt it was a fat finger unless they meant 175-395.

Maybe they did fat finger it, but they didn't care because they weren't being paid enough?

We need to eliminate the expectation that underpaid workers will or should bust their butt for the potential of a raise.

You treat me right and pay me well (a sustainable income) then I'll move mountains for you. But treat me inhumanely or pay me a pittance and I'll assume you wish I wasn't here.

I usually average out the two salaries and use that as their "intended" starting pay.

So (75 + 395)/2 = 235k a year avg starting salary for an average applicant.

The top end I consider the pay if the applicant meets all the requirements listed in the job ad.

Good call. That’s exactly what I do. I haven’t applied to a job like this m, but it seems like a good enough way to estimate.
