Does anyone work in recruiting? Is it okay to not give a number in terms of salary expectations even if the recruiter directly follows up about it?

I personally would give them what you’re looking for and/or a baseline number. It saves you, the recruiter, and the company time. You avoid wasting time going through the interview process if the salary doesn’t align with what you’re looking for.

Def so both are not waisting time. Always give a range.

I typically ask what the salary range is first and go from there. But also, do your research to see what’s market/typical for the role you’re going after. If they ask again, then give them a number within their range, if it makes sense to you.

Have you ever taken a career slow down? I am feeling burnt out from COVID and the incremental responsibilities thrown my way over the last 5+ years. I feel like my health has deteriorated. I like my company, but I want to do less. I don’t need to be a HR Director, CHRO, etc. With a career slowdown, I am prepared for a lower compensation and would want decent benefits. Any lessons learned or success stories about career slowdowns?
