I got a call from a Bain recruiter I’ve talked to a few weeks ago to apply for their AC class. I’m about a year and a half into the workforce now and have considered looking at BCG & McK as well as a few other boutiques (I had interviewed with one or two as an undergrad but didn’t receive an offer).

However, I just started a new job I do like (about 5 months in) after having a job for almost a year before leaving. Management consulting is the dream but would y’all move so soon?

Do you typically share your salary or salary expectations with recruiters on the first interview? I’ve had instances where the interviewer flat out tell me the range of salary band via email even prior to initial interview. I think this is a great way to set expectations from the get go and will save both parties time - but some companies like to play the “game” and get you to share numbers first, which I find very annoying. What have your experiences been with salary expectations?
