Am I the only one who got ghosted after discussing salary in an interview?

Honestly, I think bringing up pay too early can backfire. Tbh, it happened to me last week and now I'm unsure how to handle it. The recruiter was all smiles until I mentioned my range, then radio silence.

Ugh, that's the worst. Salary questions are a minefield.

Same thing happened to me last month, total vibe shift after money talk.

My friend at Veridian Tech had that happen, which totally proves hunt.taylor's point about the salary minefield.
