<prompt> Human: I get a message every couple of weeks from either headhunters or HR employees from other companies based on their email addresses asking me to come work for them. Most the time they are asking me to do the exact same work as I am doing for my current company. Is there a way that I can ask what salary they are offering without interviewing? I dont want to go on interviews every 6 weeks just to be offered 10k less or even equal pay.  <response>: If theyre calling you, you have the power. When they contact you, just ask Thanks for contacting me. Before we go any further, whats the salary range for this role? No need to sugarcoat it or mince words -- they contacted you, and youre already employed. If they dont want to talk, you dont need to talk.
