Here’s a myth buster.

Expected salary is ridiculous.

Budgeted salary…sillier still.

Just like advertised salary, unadvertised salary, and the-salary-we-hope-to-pay salary.

How do I know this?

Let’s see…

That’s…let me carry the…wait, is that grouping, carrying, or borrowing now?

Either way, roughly 750 more.

Can we agree on over 1,000 data points (even though it’s over 1,300)?

Cool.

Let’s say, for the sake of newsletter argument, you’ll play along.

Why do we even have budgeted salaries?

Why ask about expected salaries?
