I have recently been made redundant and before that the last time I went for a job interview was over 8 years ago - so I may well be very out of date here.

I applied for a job earlier on this week which I saw on an online job site which sounded right up my street, however there was no salary info on the post. Not even negotiable between £x and £y, it was just blank. I thought I might as well apply and if they got in touch I assumed I would be told the salary.

Yesterday I got a call inviting me for an interview which I have arranged for Monday however when I asked about the salary, she said she didn't have the information which I found a bit strange. She said they would tell me at the interview on Monday.

I get that it is probably negotiable and they will offer a salary based on however well the successful candidate does in their interview - however AIBU to be a bit put off by it? I feel like a professional company would just be upfront and honest about it?

What happened OP

Mummaaaaaah · 11/08/2016 13:44

when I'm recruiting I'm not allowed to put salary on the job ad (which drives me nuts!) so I get loads of people who are over qualified for the position I am offering. So I sneakily ask them their salary expectations in my email to them, to avoid wasting anyone's time. I think it sucks from both perspectives to not have this up front and centre.
