There is real evidence on both sides, which makes this a test of argument rather than opinion. For: transparency narrows negotiated pay gaps and saves both sides wasted interviews. Against: published ranges compress to the band's edges, reveal competitive information, and can make internal inequities explosive. A strong response picks one and concedes the real cost of its position rather than pretending there is none. Concrete mechanism beats sentiment — saying how a published range changes a specific negotiation is worth more than asserting that transparency is good.
