Salary expectations should always be the first conversation imo


Should be posted BEFORE the first conversation.

When a recruiter reaches out to me, my first response is my resume and expected hourly compensation (I primarily do consulting/contract work).

I provide different numbers based on whether WFH, Hybrid, or In-office, and for any type of commuting, I figure that out and work it into my day, so if I'm looking for $150/hr, and the commute is 1 hour each way, that is an extra 2 hours per day in the office, if I'm in the office for 3 days a week, that is 46 hours of billable time (to me), but still only 40 to the employer, so my $150/hr becomes $172.50/hr.
