Or you could've asked their range upfront, and then you could be the one disqualifying and doing the balking. This information is freely given to third-party recruiting agencies (if they use them) as well.
For me, this serves more purposes than knowing what I'll get paid. I need to know that my coworkers are well-compensated: it's a huge indicator of the quality of team you'll be working with.
Sure, it's possible that the entire team is grossly overpaid, though it's not likely. You'll find out their competency in the interview loop.

LOLOL You'll get
"we pay market rate"
which is a ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR WIDE gulf of market inefficiency
I feel that I could have saved myself the majority of those 9 hours if I had told them my salary expectations from the beginning. They would have either balked immediately or told me the position wasn't going to be paid that and we would have been done. I think that is how I will handle things going forward, personally.
