200% yes. I've got better things to do than go through the whole recruiting cycle only to find they're not going to pay what I'm willing to take -- especially when it's wayyyyy out of range. Happens more and more as I get older, as the term "senior engineer" has really gotten watered down since I started (I'd be like senior^3 I suppose). I've gotten to the point where I have to be really interested to go very far at all without having pinned down a range.

Job titles have definitely become weirder/amgbiguous/watered down over time.

Instead of salary range, what would interest you? (firm, tech stack, vision?)

Email addresses of two or three peers on the team that is advertising the position.
To get in touch/an understanding of the company/team?
