The problem today is that you have to interview to find out what rate they’ll offer. If you’d have to interview to find out what “level” or “title” they’d offer, and that would determine the rate, nothing has really changed.
The positions aren’t really separate. They will invent a $20–$30 title and a $30–40 title and a $50–$75 title and use whichever one should convince you to join after the interview.
