Inside a game industry job applicant today there are two wolves: One is tearing shit up in reckless glee because they just got a job offer from Netflix as a videogame graphics programmer earning $600,000 a year.New laws in California, New York City, and Washington state require employers to include expected salaries in job postings, though the wording for each law differs and all three are unfortunately vague.In some cases, a broad salary range can make sense—it telegraphs that a game studio is willing to pay a seasoned programmer more in acknowledgement of their experience level.But in positions like QA, which often don't offer six figure minimums to begin with, a confusingly broad salary range is an even bigger problem.But some other Activision studios seem to be even worse: COD studio Sledgehammer lists a QA analyst role that pays $14.19 - $26.22 hourly, which works out to a maximum $50,000 a year for 52 weeks of work (not counting potential overtime)."
