Do you find recruiters include salary when they send you headhunting messages? I just had to ask and the max was 30k under what I make now. I wish they would cut out the middleman and just say what the salary range is, don’t waste either of our time

I've actually found that most recruiters are cagey with salary lately. It seems weird because I thought we were working towards greater transparency in the US but in the last year or so I've noticed less transparency and I think it's because wages seem to be lower than they were a couple years ago. Not sure if anyone else has any other theories

I could not agree more. It honestly wastes all 3 party's time when they aren't transparent about it. It's rare that I see it included, usually have to go hunting for it, too.

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?
