When do you ask about salary in the process if you’d be relocating? HR is calling today to schedule in person interviews. Should I ask now or wait until I’m there? Don’t want to waste anyone’s time...

I disagree, I think it’s fine to tell the recruiter something like, “hey I’m going to need something in this broad ballpark in order to live in this city. Before moving forward, just want to make sure that’s doable”

Wait until they make an offer unless you worked with a recruiter.

Yes, you should ask to ensure viability. Do not assume people know anything or will care where you're from or what you expect to earn. Manage expectations, yours and theirs, as soon as possible, without being rude, of course. Mention to hr as AS1 said to make sure everyone is "on the same page". You can literally say "to ensure we're aligned on salary expectations for this position, but can discuss details later, should we get to an offer stage"

Agree with the above. It's reasonable since it'll require relocation.

I always, always try to find out the payband on the first call. I’ve been more hesitant in the past and waited until we’ve both put a lot of time in and then heard their number and been like “get the fuck outta here.” Learn from my mistakes just ask the person on the other end “what’s the pay range you’re looking to hit?” I’ve never been dinged for doing it.

like

P.S. It's also very surprising that they haven't asked first yet. It's usually the last thing hr or third party recruiter asks at the end of the very first intro call. That's an amateur thing on their end. Most pro companies more than candidates want to know what money you're looking to get paid before they proceed with more interviews

I just went through this and didn't have the talk until the day of the in person interview. It felt weird, but someone gave me good advice going in which was, "dude they know you're from NYC and your level so they already have an idea of what you make or want to make. They wouldn't be flying you out if they aren't prepared to make you a decent offer." That person was right and I got a great offer.

That being said there has to be more than one "right" way to do it. The alt advice above seems solid too.

Agreed 👆🏼
