How do you respond to recruiters on LinkedIn who reach out about wanting to talk to you about an “opportunity” at a “great company”? Can you just ask what the company/role is before setting up a call?

Yes. "what company do you represent? And what's the role?"

Came here to say this. Something to consider: if they’re from a great company, they usually like to advertise that up front to get you excited...

Often they don’t want to give away the req and have you apply directly.

In other cases they are secretive and require an NDA before disclosing the company. McKinsey is like this..

You can, but sometimes they only want answer over phone or even in the first meeting. It’s for you to make an initial investment and all the psychological effects of this.
