Nope, a waste of my time.

It’s always a waste of time for me

Only if unemployed or if the job looks super interesting.

Not anymore. Last spring I applied to a handful of jobs that did not specify salary. Two jobs contacted me for interviews and in the email said something like “at this stage we’d like to disclose that the range is insulting to infuriating, do you want to move forward?” I did not.

+1. If no salary is listed you can generally assume it will be underpaid.

No. From experience, it's never competitive. They're not sharing it for a reason. I had two interviews with a well-known tech company that didn't share and I thought that would be the exception, but it wasn't.

If it looks really interesting, yes. But for the most part I just skip them.

It's frustrating they often don't like to talk about the pay.

Yes. At least in my field, if they are interested the recruiter (internal) will contact you as the first step and you can discuss money the. So you have at least a range very early on in the hiring process.

Of course if unemployed. If not unemployed no way.
