What does HackerNews think of careers?

Something like this is an extreme range (clearly no one in engineering would be at 40k) and would make the employer look quite bad IMO.

FWIW GitHub https://github.com/about/careers has eng salaries for US positions be like "min 110 max 250" and while the range is high, it's still more useful than no information at all IMO.

I wonder though how this would look like for non-tech jobs.

GitHub is hiring, we have quite a few roles posted, and many more opening... https://github.com/about/careers

Yes they ask about diversity and feminism and call that eq. As another poster linked, you can see that’s their #1 cultural bullet point: https://github.com/about/careers

I think this person is trying to make it sound scary.

Interview responses are monitored for tone and vocabulary everywhere. Insufficient enthusiasm is often a valid reason not to hire someone. It is appropriate to ask questions about diversity and feminism during an interview—those are core values of the company, the first bullet point on their Careers page, even. https://github.com/about/careers
