105k is minimum wage for an engineer. That's why it says minimum in the post.

C/C++, DBA/Architect, Java, DevOps, QA

Perhaps it's just me, but when I see a salary listing without I high-end, I assume that's because it's pretty low.

Those are not skills, those are positions. We don't list skills, as they are quite arbitrary and really don't say much about their potential.

We found that writing the upper bound, many candidate assume that the upper bound is the general compensation and get quite upset if we don't value them as high.

We found this to be working better.
