Taz WakeI 100% support this and I am pretty far removed from Gen Z.
It wouldn't even cross my mind to apply for a job if they don't tell me what they are prepared to pay in advance. I wouldn't even take the call.
regphunt@tazwake Then there are the classic hits "what kind of pay are you looking for?" or "what did you make at your last job?"

In the past, I refused to answer the "what are you making now" question. I knew I was underpaid and I wasn't looking to remain that way. Beside that, compensation is the primary way companies show they value their employees. Good companies should be proud to share their salary ranges.

Definitely. I am not a fan of "what are you making now" - that shouldn't matter.
The hiring company has an idea what it is willing to pay. It probably has a corporate pay range or at the very least a budget holder has approved a budget for the role.
They KNOW what they want to pay and what they can pay.
Trying to work out if they can screw over the hire is a terrible start to a working relationship.
