I’ve been working on crafting a few good pitches for upcoming interviews and have a solid idea of the parameters to work within (not too lengthy, comps against peers, recent performance, outlook, etc.) but want to make sure I’m not accidentally omitting anything more valuable. What are some of the best stock pitches for interviews you guys have either seen or have given that resulted in success?

I was discussing my recent job search with some friends and we got into a small debate. I stand firm on not wasting my time applying for a job that doesn't post the salary with the job description, anyone else do this? I feel like anytime I have interviewed for a job that didn't post the salary, they end up lowballing me during the offer phase.
