Yes. I went through an entire interview process without knowing the comp. All I was told about comp was that it would be more than I was making

So at what stage they disclose the actual range to you?

Yes. In my experience, early conversations about compensation are relatively new. I've flown to different states for in person interviews without knowing exactly what the compensation was for a role before.

That's a relatively new thing and not every recruiter has that conversation.

As long as people continue to accept this sort of behavior they will continue to do it. I personally wouldn't unless I desperately wanted to get away from my current job just out of principle

It's hard to have principles when you're unemployed and burning through your savings.
