Yes, for real, this job is posted publicly. It's heavy on administrative and logistics work.

Why don’t they tell you the salary?

 

[irichluck21]

because it probably sucks!

Pretty standard in the US these days. A few states have laws that you have to include a salary range in job postings, but most places can just say "Commiserate on experience" and require the applicant to give their acceptable range first, creating a fun guessing game for the person applying.

 

[MaryClare]

That’s crazy. How can they expect people to apply for a job with no salary range?!

 

[RedBirdie]

Welcome to American Capitalism. It's insane.

FWIW, my industry's professional association enthusiastically supports salary transparency in job postings. To post on their job board, or the job board of any local chapters, salary range for a position must be disclosed. I believe it's made a huge difference.

"commiserate on experience" is a nice typo with reference to today's job market

On the opposite end, I'm a hiring manager and we explicitly post the salary for each position (not even a range) as per NY State law, and people still try to negotiate and haggle and act shocked when the posted salary is actually what they would earn in the role.

Would love that job

I don’t think it’s a hire, it’s an elected position

 

[RedBirdie]

Yes, elected, and very restrictive criteria for who can be nominated. "Must have been a Brevet judge for at least six (6) years and served as a member of the Technical Committee." There's just a handful of people who are qualified.

The must have served on the technical committee rule feels like a deliberate way to exclude international applicants. There are many international judges who would be interested (and potentially more effective) in that role.

Don't want the Chinese spying on the US and finding out about routine construction!!!

Technical committee is concerned about rules and policies of the entire WAG program. It has very little to do with elite. Things like continuing education requirements for judges, determining deductions of level 7 bars, etc. Very dry, boring procedural stuff.
