This lesson enumerates the scenarios when it may be prudent to disclose your compensation to the recruiter.

Does it make sense to ever reveal one’s compensation? Yes, it does in some cases. For instance, if your compensation is already at the top end of the market rate for your role and career stage, you may want to save yours and the recruiter’s time and let them know what financial compensation would be acceptable for you to even begin the interview process. It may happen that a recruiter incorrectly levels you and sets up an interview loop not congruent with your current or aspired level.
