 1 | # salary-seeker
 2 | 
 3 | The jobs listed on seek.com.au usually hide the salary range. You can use salary range search filters, but this is tedious and still vague.
 4 | 
 5 | This tool modifies URL parameters and brute-forces the salary range of the job through a binary search algorithm.
 6 | ```
 7 | bash-3.2# ./salary-seeker.sh
 8 |     | usage: ./salary-seeker.sh <job id>
 9 |     | job id can be found in the URL of the job, e.g. https://www.seek.com.au/job/38035537 <--- here
10 |     | example: ./salary-seeker.sh 38035537
11 | ```
