NWR..Asking salary info

before an interview? How bad is this? If you know you have a specific range and do not want to waste time going to something with a pay you can't live on, should you ask or call back and ask before you go in?

honestly, and especially w the job market and economy where it is, i would do the interview first (never turn down an interview)

and figure out salary AFTER they offer you a job

i think you should ask during the interview, if possible ... but if it's difficult for you to go to interviews because of your current job, then i think it's fine to ask on the phone ... just ask them for a range

ITA - I wouldn't ask until after I had an offer.

As a rule of thumb...Never ask about money before the interview!!

I think it's okay to ask. Or at least ask the range. I used to think it wasn't okay and ended up wasting God knows how much time on interviews for jobs that were way below what I'd be willing to take. Now I always ask and if they won't tell me I won't take the interview.
