Companies excluding Coloradans from remote jobs to avoid sharing salary ranges
A competitive market would enable me to sort by salary and benefits and apply for the best job.<p>However companies don&#x27;t want to compete on salary, and potentialy drive them up - they want maximum leverage. They get more leverage if process is obscure, so that you only agree salary late in the process and for the applicant, pulling out is risky.<p>The market is not really free - its being manipulated by one side.<p>Similarly with healthcare you don&#x27;t know how much you will be charged upfront, so there is no competition on price.<p>With housing (in UK) there is no competition on quality because the seller doesn&#x27;t have to disclose any problems with the house. If it falls of a cliff the minute you sign on the dotted line, it&#x27;s your problem.<p>You have to pay for the surveyor to find out any issues the house might have, and that means you can only view a few houses before you&#x27;ve paid the house price in survey fees.
