Seriously Grant Thornton with your 'what is your expected salary? Oh, we won't give you a range but we'll tell you if your number is in our range.' It's a SM level, don't play coy. Ridiculous.

Give them your number. If they say no thanks then it wasn’t a fit.

Lots of us inside the firm disagree with the hiring process. We have a desperate need to hire people, lots of open positions, but it's slow and they do things like this.

EY1 it's more that I don't know anything about their comp structure. I can toss a number out but I have no basis for it other than thinking I may be currently underpaid. Would I leave for 100% more? Absolutely. Would I leave for 10% more? Unlikely. If the pay range is 30 - 50% more? That gives me something to think about so we don't waste each other's time.

As someone who tends to undervalue themselves, it's like asking how much I'm willing to pay for a drink versus telling me what the drink costs, then allowing me to decide if I want to purchase it or not.
