<prompt> Human: My wife is currently job searching non-profit development and most of the jobs do not list compensation in the job description. Also, most of the jobs that shes applying to have some variation of the title in the application process.She had two interviews with one organization and found out that her salary requirements were the factor in not getting the job they hired someone with less experience and less education for presumably less money.It seems to me that this is a no win situation for the person applying to the job. We have looked at Glassdoor etc but the ranges for the positions she is applying to are broad. It seems like you either go high and run the very real risk of not being interviewed or losing out to someone with a lower number, or you go middle of the roadlow and totally hamstring your salary negotiations before they even start.Is there an elegant solution to this that Im not seeing? Can any hiring managers or similar chime in with how these numbers are viewed and evaluated?My wife is currently part time looking for full time roles so unfortunately shes not really in the position to just not accept anything lower than the max number.Appreciate any help.  <response>: they hired someone with less experience and less educationThen thats all they required for the job. Your wife may not have been happy there.
