I think this will have a negative impact on salary negotiation.

"You responded to our listing that said $40k/year, so how much higher do you want to go?"




In some specific cases it will, but basic game theory shows that the person setting their starting position is more likely to be at a disadvantage in negotiation. Today you can get ranges from 3rd parties (recruiters, former employees, etc)...so it will be the same as today except the starting salary will ALWAYS be a floor from the employer.
