When is the best time to ask about compensation during the interview process? I usually ask during the phone screening or whatever that first interview is. But I was told it puts off employers to ask about money that early in the process.

It puts me off to go through 3 or 4 rounds of interviews and realize we are nowhere remotely on the same planet in terms of pay. You need to make sure you are phrasing it right. Curious about salary ranges, or want to make sure we are aligned. Companies should be happy to do it, saves them a lot of time too.

OP, you’re not offending anyone, but you’re just not doing things in the order that they need to be done. In the screening interview, they may ask you what are you currently making? Do not tell them, you can ask what is the targeted salary band for this role? I always either get the band from glass door or off the posting itself. I record that in a spreadsheet. That way, I know what to expect.
Sometimes they ask you that question on applications, if that’s the case and it’s required field – notated by an*on the question – I don’t ever put a number I put open if that field will accept characters other than numbers.

Really? That's when I ask too. Didn't know I was potentially offending anyone by doing it. That seems silly to me, so I'm going to keep on asking before I get too far in the process. I don't want to waste their or my time if the range isn't in line with my expectations.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
