Regardless of the actual range, HR may have decided based on budget or the manager's wishes that it be in the high 40s, so it may not have been a lie. That range of $40-60 is pretty wide, most places (like ours can only start someone up to the midpoint, by policy, and that would be $50k. HR advertises it as minimum amount to midpoint amount. Most that I have hired were just below midpoint.
Exactly. The range for the job might be $40 to $60, but most companies will refuse to start someone near the top of the range, because they are not allowed to go higher than that top amount meaning that future salary increases would be non-existent. $47 sounds about right.
If the range is 40-60 the range they will offer a new hire is usually midpoint at best the upper range of the position is usually what you can max out at after you have been with he company in that position for many many years. No one lied you just don't understand how it works

I wasn't told it was midpoint. I was told it was high for the position. High for the position was 60.
