How do you respond to recruiters that reach out to you on LinkedIn that provide vague descriptions and not even the company name . I don’t want to waste my time on phone calls. Can you even ask for compensation range in the first message? Sorry not super good at LinkedIn “etiquette”. Also an 2 YOE analyst in case that matters

Most won’t give you those details over a message. They have an incentive to get you on a phone call because it’s more likely you’ll get further along in the process and they’ll get their commission. If you don’t want to get on a call, they’ll most likely not respond to you. They’ll just follow up with other candidates willing to get on a quick call. Tbh you sound quite entitled lol, jobs don’t just fall into your lap
