When a notebook computer is advertised without the weight or batter life information included, I assume it is because those are not its most attractive features. Likewise, when a position is posted sans compensation information, I assume it is for similar reasons and move on. In my view, the practice falls just this side of bait-and-switch.

I am not saying that to be accusatory but along the lines of why would you not do at least a little bit of research and see where you should be paid and what you feel you deserve to be paid and start above that mark? Job seekers either need to take Negotiation 101 or be satisfied with the salary that is offered. Why would a company offer more than is necessary to satisfy you and get you on board? That's really poor business and I wouldn't want to work for that company. Why would you set your price too low?
