    They can do that because they have the power. You only have power after an offer is made. Then leverage that power to get what you need.

      That’s the reality and companies are abusing this process by making hiring process a dick sucking, boot licking hunger games style process

      It is disgusting

        I don’t disagree with any of this, but I don’t know how this is connected to when it’s appropriate to ask these questions. What am I missing?

          If worker are able to shift the power balance to where employer has to tell term of the employment on the front end, we would NOT get abused as much during interview process.

          For example as middle age cuck, I don’t even talk to recurieter unless we agree on salary range that is acceptable to me. I am not wasting my time.

          Obviously entry level can’t do that but adults should be a lot hard on these corporate IMHO

          It is our job to the drive this. Boomers unwillingness to do this got us into this situation.

          But yes, as person on bad luck, young or otherwise unemployed, has to play the game how you outlined.

            Well, good luck organizing the union of the unemployed people. That’s not a category that is easy to gather.

            Or you can play the individual game, and save your power to use when it will have some effect on your ongoing life, instead of just some psychological comfort on the short duration of an interview.

            Yes, it sucks that you have to choose.
