Why do almost all job postings now not include the salary? Am I supposed to ask during the interview or wait until they give me a ridiculously low number? I usually try to research the median earnings for the positions but those can be iffy.
Get a fake email account or borrow a friend's phone and ask for a range. Sometimes they will give it to you. I agree that it's really annoying. Some people have crazy ideas about what certain jobs should pay.

as do some employers. $12 an hour for a Chemist please. Post the salary and let some dope with a fake degree and no self esteem take the position and wreck your lab. Don't tell me that after 3 interviews.
If you don't know what the job should be paying, then you're probably not the best applicant.
Disagree. Not all companies pay appropriately. YOU may know what it should pay. The company may not, or at least might not be willing to pay what it should.
They do it to get you to name your price first. That way, if 2 applicants are close in fit, but one is willing to be paid 15k less, they can take that into consideration. Even better, they'd rather have you tell them your current salary to value you based on that.
HR bull. If it were up to the hiring manager they would put the salary right up front to keep anyone from wasting his/her time. In my profession its very common for positions to have a myriad of titles and its often hard to tell what the job level actually is. For instance Accounting Senior, Accounting Manager, Accountant 3, Accountant 1 etc. Salary used to at least be helpful to know if the position is high level or not. If it says Accounting Senior and pays 50k that's a lot different in level than an Accounting Senior that pays 100k.

Right. Not only do many job postings not list a salary range any longer, but they ask the applicants for their "salary requirements". So if you list a salary that is too high, your resume gets tossed. Or you can get lowballed if you list a salary lower than they were intending to pay. Good times.
