Question

When a job application asks you starting compensation and ending compensation. What does that mean?

Answer 1

how much you were making when you started your previous job and what you ended.  

i.e. you started making 10/h but by the time you left you were making 100/h

I guess if you ended with that much you wouldn't have left though.....  

Answer 2

What did you get paid when you started the job and what did you get paid when you left.
