    If the company doesn’t want to match your salary expectation, then why interview? Are you hoping that meeting with the team will change their mind? I don’t have enough experience to know if that happens, but I suspect it’s unlikely.

      Not every company posts salary up front, so there is at least that situation.

      True enough. Yes, I would expect them to move towards my expectation once they got to know me better and once they see that I might fit into the team quite nice. At least I believe it more likely than weeding me out based on numbers in the very first call. I too don’t have enough experience to know whether this is realistic. I just know that my current employer would lean into that way of thinking.

      But, it seems that many companies can still afford to weed out candidates by numbers, at least here in Germany. So, I just have to do me as long as I have a secure position and otherwise, otherwise.
