Anyone that isn’t asking basic shit about the job is either an idiot or dishonest and I don’t want them on my team. Provide honest answers to these questions immediately, ESPECIALLY work culture and responsibilities. Salary may not be appropriate at this specific stage in the interview, but if it’s the third round or later, it needs to be discussed.
EDIT: depends what type of team you manage I think…
I find it odd that US has this taboo of asking about salary during the first interview. I personally would not bother with a vacancy if the salary is not mentioned before applying or at least during the first conversation. Hiding such crucial information is seen as dishonest and a waste of time for both parties. I don’t care how amazing your work culture is or how passionate you as a company are about what you do if your pay sucks. No matter how many interviewing rounds you want to try and convince me you are awesome.
What job would I ever apply for that I didn’t have at least a ballpark for compensation to begin with?
I’m not going to go through the entire interview process only to then find out that they are offering half of what I’m looking for.
Sure I understand the company may not be able to give an exact price because what they’re prepared to offer will depend on what the other candidates are looking for and my experience level. But they should at least be able to tell me what the minimum and maximum values are, and they should at least be able to tell me approximately where I lie within that. If I have 10 plus years of experience in the industry then I would expect to be on the high end of that salary band, if you as a manager disagree, then that’s something we’re going to have a talk about right now.
As a manager, I disagree.

Third round lmao what you guys hiring for, président ?
Engineering
Fair enough, long set are the days when a diploma meant something and now we have to ask interviewers which labubus they own type shit
In my experience each round is interviewing with different people, or different teams. It’s not three rounds with one person / team.
