Is it just in my experience or are recruiters/hiring managers really reluctant these days to discuss salary bands for a given role? My logic for asking is to determine if I should consider a given role or pass if doesn't meet my salary requirements rather than continue additional interviews and find out later. Thoughts?

I think that's always been the case. My most recent interview process, they were cagey about it. Which made me think the paid would be terrible but it was 50% than I thought it would be when they offered.

In my experience, 10-15 years ago if you asked they'd tell you ball park total comp and salary for a given role. Old school external recruiters I work with still do. It's just the inside ones are coy about it.

$325k TC at MBB in a non-generalist (still partner track) path.

Are WFH industry roles at the $300-500k TC level really that much less stressful?

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.
