Would you say "no longer interested in this position"? That seems to put all the blame on the firm, which might burn a bridge.

It is in appropriate to ask what the compensation for a position is after a first interview if they want you to go on three more and the interviewers on my first told me that was above their pay grade to tell me?????

I can see in biglaw not bringing up knowing damn well if you get an offer itll likely be high, but this is a midsize
