What is the best way to respond when an interviewer insists that you provide a base number for compensation during the interview process? I mentioned that I was interested in learning more about the full compensation package (benefits, etc.), but the recruiter insisted twice. I do not want to price myself out of a position or lose money either. All tips are greatly appreciated.

I always ask what their range is and tell them if that’s workable for me. It hasn’t been an issue so far.

Yeah...this is a dickish power move on recruiter's part.

In house lawyering is hard and you need to know the structure of the legal team, their philosophy with respect to outside counsel, hiring plans, etc., before you can know what range reflects your responsibilities. It's not just about what keeps you solvent.

"Based on your company size/position/location, I'm sure we won't have an issue getting to a number that works for both of us. But do you have a range for this role for clarity?" And depending on how far in the process you are, I usually ask about bands (e.g. what band is the ceo and what band am I?) and if you're feeling really confident, the range of that band. You can sort of guess how much you can push salary negotiation with the band information in hand.

Have you had to change your start date after accepting an offer and how did it go?

However, the drug screen is now taking over a week and a half (still not finished, maybe tomorrow). Apparently things are much slower due to staffing issues and labs are backed up. It’s cutting into my 30 day notice significantly. Thoughts?
