How do i approach interviews when the recruiter wont give a range. Last two interviews recruiters say “no range no budget” which I know for a fact is absolute bullshit. Seems like a way businesses are using to deflate salaries and force you to give a low figure. Any advice?

Aim high but within reason. Research. Ask people in the company if you know of any. Ask chatGPT. Tell them salary expectation and gauge reaction - if they have negative then say “that’s all in incl bonus” if they react positively then share “that’s the expectation for base.” Sometimes have to adjust on the fly but be ready for it

Make sure whatever you propose you’d be comfortable with, at the end of the day… of course 👍
