They won’t tell me what the salary is… “YET”.
I’ve done 2 interviews already. First the recruiter said the hiring manager could give me better insight on salary/quota. The hiring manager told me they’ll talk more about that in my next interview, which is a panel and presentation and mock roleplay. They said I have 48 hours to finish the presentation and send over to confirm the next email. Would it look bad if I ask about salary again via email before scheduling any next steps?? Just seems weird

Yeah, you’re getting too deep into the process without knowing if there’s a possibility of alignment. I would hope that they’re delaying because perhaps they feel your skillset and experience might push you up above the level the job is currently scoped at, so they’re possibly doing some research and approvals around it… but if that were the case, they should have told you that’s exactly why they can’t put a range in front of you at the current moment.

Yes honestly it sounds like a red flag to me. The interview process says a lot about the company culture. If transparency is something that you value this might not be the place for you.

That’s disrespectful of your boundaries. I would say something simple like you are in process at other organizations and or “I’d feel more comfortable proceeding with the hiring process once you have salary insights” especially if they have you doing a presentation!

Thanks - I am in a similar situation and it's valuable to get insights from a recruiter. My challenge with this particular Recruiter is that I am in New York State where it is required for them to give a range and she is telling me that the range would be too wide, and so she would prefer for me to just provide my desired salary.

Is it truly desperate times? If not, then please ask yourself why you're even entertaining such a thing. Remember that everything is part of the interview process. The hard truth --right now you're telling them that you can be managed into whatever they want. Better to respect yourself and your boundaries enough to not end up in an untenable situation. And if you decide to do a presentation keep it VERY high level with simple slides.

Nah that feels really shady tonme

I am a Reliability Maintenance 3P contractor for Amazon. I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering on June 2022.
