PAY CUT ON A LIVE REQ
The range moved down while the posting stayed open
Databricks cut the top of range on a Bay Area Sr. Financial Analyst from $233K to $143K on Oct 23 - a reset that large usually means the role was repriced or releveled, worth clarifying before you submit anyone.

SLOW CLOSERS
Employers whose searches habitually run long

GO DEEPER

Signals are computed nightly from the live Audit Friendly index and from SEC EDGAR filings; staffing agencies and bulk posters are excluded. Rows link to the posting, filing or layoff report they were read from; surges, slow closers and first-time posters are measured across an employer's postings and carry no single link. Pay figures are the employer's posted ranges in USD.
