I had an initial interview for a job and there was no salary listed and I couldn’t find anything on LinkedIn. When the company asked what I was looking for, I asked if they could give me a range, but they refused to do so. There are six rounds of interviews for this job, and I really don’t want to go ahead without knowing the salary — there’s a lot of preparation involved and it could be a waste of time. What should i do?

Well, salary disclosure laws are in effect in states across the country, so if this company is located in one of those states (check DoL.gov), they must disclose their salary range.

That said, threatening to sue a potential employer for non-disclosure during the interview process may not be the best strategy to land a job offer.

If they don’t share the compensation but want to keep you involved in the process, it’s worth following through, as it probably means they’re not concerned about their ability to pay you competitively.

It may not be what you want, but don’t worry if you get the offer.

You can always try to negotiate or eventually decline, but you’ll have more leverage once they decide they want you rather than when they’re still evaluating.
