When getting approached by recruiters, when do you ask about comp? Don’t really want to waste both our times if comp is nowhere near what I’d like

I ask immediately

First thing u ask what budgeted range is

I ask in the initial screening call. The only time I don't is when I know for a fact they're in my range already WITH room for negotiation. (This is rare, but it does happen occasionally.)

Otherwise, I ask so I can focus my research on negotiation details.

I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!
