This made me laugh because I’ve been in this exact conversation too many times. I just want to know the salary range so I don’t waste anyone’s time, but somehow that’s too much to ask. I’m in sales, I know how to negotiate, but at least give me a starting point. Why is transparency still such a fight in 2025?
