New CA & WA pay transparency laws show Blizzard pays QA way less than Riot & Bungie

TL;DR

In the ongoing fight for workers' rights, California and Washington recently enacted new pay transparency laws that require businesses in specific industries to share the pay range for roles listed at their companies.Taking a look at current listings for similar QA jobs at Riot Games (QA Engineer), Bungie (Destiny Test Lead), and Blizzard (Diablo 4 Test Lead), Blizzard is listing the lowest pay of the three.This news comes just after a year in which QA workers under the Activision Blizzard umbrella unionized in pursuit of better treatment and compensation, a massive moment in the fight for workers' rights in the gaming industry.It’s also worth mentioning that the role at Blizzard requires applicants to have three years of experience leading test teams, and 1 - 3 years of management experience.With the company now forced to share (vague) salary ranges on its job listings, it will be interesting to see if Blizzard raises rates for its QA workers as a result of the newfound scrutiny."
