[quote=Anonymous]I had an initial interview on Friday. They asked my expected pay range on the application and I put $150k (which I knew was likely on the higher end). During the interview they brought it up and the VP asked me to "take into consideration that this role encompasses less duties than my current role when considering my requested salary range"). Basically, this new is more narrowly focused role encompasses about 70% of the duties at my current job. However, it's not like I would slack on effort or deliverables; I would just have more attention and time to thoroughly devote to those duties.

They want me to come into headquarters for a panel interview. This would be a 2 hour drive each way for me. Is it appropriate to ask the salary range of the position before scheduling that. I certainly don't want to waste anyone's time if we are not in the same ballpark.

The HR director sent me a more detailed job description, but under compensation it says "salary and incentives to be presented in an offer letter of employment". FWIW, I would seriously consider a job offer in the $135-145k range, but nothing lower as I am not necessarily unhappy in my current role.[/quote]
