Be aware of those who don't share!
Years ago when I got made rendundant and ended up moving to London, I quickly learnt
1) When recruiters says salary is not set yet, it means the company has not set aside budget - there is no position, they are using you to reaserch the market, so walk away.
2) When you are told, salary is "flexible", it means they are offering below market rate, so walk away.
3) When companies do play games like this, it often originates from their "culture", i.e. if they are shitty to potential recruits, they will be shitty to those working there..
I only have 1 rule when talking with a company - An interview is a 2 way street, I'm also evaluating them.. so they best be prepared to disclose projects, salaries and benefits on the first call.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
