I asked for the salary band early on and the recruiter acted surprised. I work in tech sales. Pay matters. Time matters. Is there a polite way to ask without feeling like I am breaking a rule?

I would push a bit more for it. Just to make sure we are aligned from the start, can you give me a range for this role? Nobody should be shocked that you are asking about pay for a job, so bit of a red flag. I guess there is a chance they just don’t know either.

You are right to ask early. A recruiter surprised by that feels like a warning.
