I wish - I had multiple interviews and WRITTEN TESTS!!!! with a huge multinational company's lobby shop downtown - when they offered me the position at the end of my 4th interview (seriously, I had to go there that many times AND take tests), they asked what I was looking to make - I told them what I currently made and would like to earn x% above that.  They went, "oh....we are in the 50-55k window. Maybe we should have asked this first".  NO SHIT!!![/quote]

You are also interviewing the company during the hiring process. Why didn't you ask what the salary range was when they first expressed an interest in you? As a hiring manager I get this out of the way immediately because my time is important and so is the candidate's. I do not want to waste someone's time if their salary request is going to be more than I can pay. I take the same approach when I'm cold called by companies.[/quote]
