Also, what this does is really separates the wheat from the chaff. If the company can't tell me the salary or the job, it's not a good fit anyways.

Interestingly, what this means is that Google is not a good fit at all. They wanted me to talk to a sourcer, who would connect me to a recruiter. That's too much corporate foreplay for me, especially without even knowing what team I'd be joining.

> corporate foreplay

Hello, new vocabulary entry!

Maybe they'll even buy you a lobster dinner before they fuck you.
While I agree, its also a way to

a) know the market

b) not interview for 4-8 hours only to find out they are going to pay you 30k less than your current job (yep had that, never make that mistake again)
