Recruiter reached out for an interview... is it rude to ask salary range for the position at the end of the convo? Position is creative. Don't want to waste their time (or mine). Thoughts?

Never rude with a recruiter- part of their job is to know what you're looking for salary wise.

Always ask with a recruiter. Shocked they didn't mention first. It's usually one of the first things discussed to make sure conversations worth having.

like

Last time I worked with a recruiter they ended up asking me for a number by our second phone call. I highballed it to almost double what I was making at my previous agency. He said it might be a tall order, but would try to see what he could do... and, here I am! Know your worth.

Yeah I always jump on that first conversation.

like

1. Never say a number or range first 2. Don't write it off if it is lower than what you are looking for, I got an offer from that was about 20k more than the first conversation with the recruiter, there is always room for negotiation! Especially if they really like you

They can ask and may be required to ask, but you do not have to give them the answer.

*production, not creative

They will ask you first, in fact, during the interview...

I have the opposite problem. Recruiters ALWAYS want a number before we seriously discuss the role. I say "there's no way I can know that without meeting the team/president/boss etc" and 50% of the time that's a deal breaker. Their loss.

What do you do when you feel the goalpost has been/is being moved re: billable requirements? Like there's a spoken vs unspoken? I chose this job based on billables vs salary and what I'm being told I'm expected to do now is 20-30% (at least) > than what was initially agreed upon. Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.

Do recruiters and Hiring Managers actually review and read resumes? Also tech companies that sell SaaS, what is it with the requirements of having 10 years or more if technical sales experience? Also the ramp up period is not realistic. Average sales cycle for a reputable SaaS provider is 12-24 months. How on earth a start up can state that their ramp up period is 90 days? The company hasn’t had any new sales either. Start up CEO’s… be realistic or seek enough funding to operate.
