Yess! I usually say thanks for reaching out ask for the salary/budget up front and if I’m interested I let them know why it aligns with what I’m looking for and when we can talk. Also, even if I’m not interested I usually say thanks anyways and say I’ll see in my network who would be interested! I feel like Its good to keep them as a contact even if you’re not interested in the job :)

Heck yes you do! When it appears to be a lateral move, I say ‘Thanks for reaching out. In order to not waste your time or my time, X salary, y bonus, z level are what it would take for me to leave my job at this time. Happy to discuss this opportunity further if it meets this criteria.’ It saves a lot of time.

Always ask if they are retained - sometimes they try to fill positions for a fee where the company is not interested in paying them.

Currently working on a three person team in a larger GC group. I lateraled from a different group that did not pay attorneys on an attorney scale. I’m stuck in my old pay scale but have gotten promotions and raises quickly with more on the horizon. A recruiter reached out with a new role for 2-2.5x more than I currently make doing something similar. I love my company and the people I work with but the money isn’t there. Is it worth trying to get a counter to stay if I get the bigger offer?
