The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." Does "competitive pay" count as stating them? It's vague but it's a statement about pay. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." And they say "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "competitive pay" is similar to filler? It's not a specific number but it's a statement. I'd consider it filler/placeholder, not substantive. So we should not create a Pay section.
