Salary is a crucial concern for both employers and job seekers. A user on the Dcard forum voiced their frustration that many job postings list salaries of NT$40,000 per month, but interview experiences reveal that over half of the positions offer less.

The user noted that despite the advertisement claiming 'NT$40,000 and above,' their interviews at nearly 15 companies showed that more than half do not actually meet that standard. They further explained that only tech companies were able to realistically offer salaries above NT$40,000, while most traditional businesses use this figure as a marketing gimmick.

Furthermore, the user pointed out that the demanding workload and poor systems in many companies are the primary reasons why low salaries are prevalent, not just a desire for easy office work by younger generations. Many other users agreed and shared similar experiences.

When it comes to instances where the offered salary is lower than advertised, some users suggest reporting to the job recruitment website, but others argue that gathering evidence is difficult and that the practical utility of such complaints is minimal.

According to the Employment Services Act, employers must disclose the minimum salary if the advertised salary is below NT$40,000, or they could face fines. Netizens advise that if one wishes to report such issues, they should approach the Ministry of Labor instead of the recruitment website.
