What does the salary fork mean, which is written in vacancies?

Question

css

If a salary range is indicated in the vacancy, for example, $1000-2000, does this mean that $2000 is the maximum possible amount that the company will pay in six months or a year? That is, if they took for $ 2000, then you can not count on an increase in the future?

Answer 1

No, this fork refers specifically to the amount for which a company is willing to hire an employee.
The increase is discussed separately.
