Should I refuse an interview with a company that does not disclose its salary?

I had an initial job interview, but 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 position and I really don’t want to continue without knowing the salary: there is a lot of preparation required and it could be a waste of time. What should I do?

Well, salary disclosure laws exist in states across the country, so if that company is located in one of those states (check DoL.gov), they are required to disclose the salary range.

However, threatening to sue a potential employer for not disclosing information during an interview may not be the best strategy for securing a job offer.

If they don’t share compensation but want you to be involved in the process, you should follow through with it because it likely means they aren’t concerned about their ability to pay you competitively.

It may not be what you want, but worry about it if you get an offer.

You can always try to negotiate or end up walking away from it, but you’ll have more leverage when they decide they want you rather than when they’re still evaluating.
