      I applied for a dev position with a salary range with the higher end fitting my requirements. I checked off basically all of the boxes in the job announcement as I had worked as a consultant for that very company in that same position for several years prior. After interviewing rounds and a programming task, the interviewers were very happy with me and were eager to get me started. However, their offer was in the lower ~20% of the salary range. When I asked for the reason, I was told that they had to cut back costs, so they couldn’t afford to pay me more.

      So basically, the salary range was just bait to receive applications.
