Is it bad to ask the recruiter during a screening call about the maximum salary for the role? I currently earn $110k as an AS in pharma, but know that the average for the same title in consumer setting is lower. I saw on glassdoor that the maximum salary for this new opening is at $120k...

Thanks all. I’m just worried because I heard glassdoor can be inaccurate

yes it can be.. but it seems like a money is a priority for you (great! me too!). I would highly recommend always bringing it up in the first convo because it sets the expectations clearly and you can walk away from the opportunity without wasting anyone’s time.

I learned this because I once did 8 rounds of interviews.. turned out to be a waste of time. Never again!

Plus, I want to be paid a certain amount. If you can’t pay, someone else will.

General question about LinkedIn, but I figured recruiters may have a better perspective.

Can anyone recommend if, and how it will, or will not help?
