Amazon recruiter reached out and wants to know my general compensation expectations before first interview. Very little info available on role but seeing $150k-$250k total compensation reported. Is this too wide of a range to give them?

If they were to write you an offer for $150k today, would you be impressed? My point is make sure the minimum you are giving them would make you happy if that was the offer you end up getting and make sure the maximum/ range is reasonable so they can take you seriously.

Don't give them a number, say Consulting speak like I'm yet to do a thorough research but I'll expect to be paid in line with the industry standard etc etc
