Is it a huge red flag to ask HR/recruiter/whoever is setting up the interview what the salary range for this role is if it’s not in the job description? I know it’s a little heavy handed but also I don’t want to waste my time with any roles that are significantly low and honestly it’s not an un-important question.

These days I think it’s even more red flaggy to not post it, to not ask, to not negotiate

Are you kidding? No it is not a red flag to ask a recruiter

We all have bills to pay. We need to know if/how we’re going to pay them. Definitely shouldn’t be a red flag.

like

A headhunter / recruiter yes absolutely; a direct hire, yes but have some tact and grace and don’t just blurt out “So what does this position pay?”

like

Some states have laws that require that the range be included in the job listing. I agree with others that you should be tactful when asking, but you should always ask.

like

A recruiter should be the one disclosing their pay range so that they are not wasting your time. Before they does any recruiting it’s a question they should have asked you first.

like

Totally fine to ask the recruiter. With an HR person/someone in the company, I would bury it within a couple of other logistical/other questions, just to give the flavor that you’re really interested and doing your research. I just think that give a better first impression.

Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries. Part of me wonders if they are in such high growth right now that consultants can’t add as much value, thus maybe a smaller presence. Thoughts?
