Why is it that it always seems like recruiters don't like it when candidates know their worth and ask 'what's in it for me' questions? Every time I ask about WLB, schedule flexibility, etc., there's not one time I've been met with any enthusiasm to answer. Does anyone else feel this way?

I've experienced that too. It's like they just want us to be desperate for the job and be okay with any working conditions. I wouldn't stop asking the questions you need the answers for. Just make sure to frame them in a way that doesn't sound accusatory in any way.

Because there is no WLB or flexibility anymore, that’s why they don’t like the questions. Continue to ask, because I’d rather know ahead of time what’s in store.

Recruiters, is it frowned upon for candidates to reach out to you on DM on Linkedin? Or does it show that they’re more interested than just submitting an application?
