lol   most dont as pay is dependant on exp.

Answer: Because they want to lowball potential employess which is what makes it unethical.

Don't waste my valuable time. I've seen McDonalds print ads with minimum hourly starting wages.

Hm, I have no idea how this is handled in US, but here in Germany you will find that most job offers have no information about payment. So this is really not unusual here.

I can´t remember a single job oppotunity I applied for that mentioned the hight, or even a range, for the payment. It is simply not done here this way. It has nothing to do with this being unethical or something.

So, in most job offers you will get asked what you are except to be paid, and hopeful you are not too far away from what the company wants you to pay.

It's the same in the UK, which is where Codemasters is located. Wages are rarely ever mentioned in an ad. Usually you hav to contact the company or the agency doing the hiring. It has absolutely nothing to do with ethics and everything to do with standard procedure. So stop grasping at straws trying to mud sling.

And I think you'll find most IT and related jobs in the US also don't list the wage they are willing to pay. McDonalds likely doesn't actually list a wage either. They say min wage, which can be different from state to state.

They were paying AD to do this job till december. And .. the salary was pretty low. something like 9,50$/h .. but that's canadian dollars, Not US or EURO. (My friend was a GM there)

I heard they are giving more, but, why they didnt keep the contract with AD if they're going to be higher.

Soo, You need to know that's something near 10$/h

They already list the minimum requirements so why can't they list the minimum starting salary?

For the love of god please stop holding a gun to redwoodsaps head and make him waste his valuable time!

They really need to go into more detail with this if they are expecting professional applicants.

For example do you have to actually work in Germany (it implies that you do) or is it possible to work from home anywhere in the world as long as you have access to the relevant tech?

What rewards are on offer?

I have 15 years high level Customer Care experience, 8 of those as a manager in high level complaints.  29 years experience playing video games, 10 years in online games.    I am fed up with my current job (37 hours a week of un-challenging repetition) so I am looking elsewhere but this tells me nothing terribly useful.

For example working in Germany = forget it (I love living by the English seaside).  Working from home = Perfect.  And no self respecting customer services processional in the UK would consider a role without being aware of the basic remuneration package.  I have been looking at job ads for several hours a day and its rare to see no data at all.

You just reply and ask whatever you want :/
