One of the FAANG companies keeps reaching out to me, but they refuse to give me a salary range
Some of the managers want to interview me, but they want to put me through their stupid 8 interviews, written assignments, and tests (yes, they do psychometric tests too for my role). I asked them what the salary range is, and they said they can't possibly know at this stage. This is what I responded. What do you think of my response?
Hi [Manager's Name],
I'm not going through all these interviews, tests, and assignments if the compensation is not aligned with my expectations.
My minimum required base salary is $160,000 USD per year*.*
I understand that roles and seniority levels vary, but I will not devote the necessary time and energy to this extensive interview process if this salary minimum cannot be met.
Kind regards,
My name
