I had the phone interview which went well up until I requested the salary range. To which the recruiter said she would get back to me. We scheduled the in person interview a week out. I sent an email requesting a salary range, again, to go unanswered until the day before the interview. I was told this would be discussed in the interview. Look, I am a seasoned professional with a requirement of XXk annual, benefits etcetera.. Your unwillingness to be competitive will drive away talent. Most of all, I have very little leisure in my day to day. I will not spend an hour in traffic battling the hoards of bad missouri drivers. Just to be lowballed.
