    It’s common practice now. I’ve been interviewing for over 4 months, and ask these kinds of questions every time (except for the salary). Over a dozen interviews, and not once has there been even a hint of relucrance to respond.

    Op dodged a crap company

      You shouldn’t have to ask about the salary because that should have been in the job advertisement. Why would anyone even apply for a job if they don’t know what it pays?

        Not a thing in continental Europe unfortunately… On the other side, interviewers don’t mind the question at all ime

          It’s a huge waste of everyone’s time, including the hiring company, to get to the interview stage only to find out the pay is too low. So stupid.

      You don’t ask about salary? I hope that means you had that discussion before the interview and not that you’re just hoping it’s worth your time

        Generally they beat me to it - either it’s posted in the ad, or your asking rate is in the application questions. I do usually wait to ask until later in the process, though - employers can be pretty unreasonable about asking about salaries in general
