I like getting recruiter emails because it kind of means I am marketable, even though some of the recruitments can become an anecdote I can talk about at a dinner party with friends... (you know one of those totally weird recruitments)

But mostly I want to get it because I want to see what these companies are expecting from their candidates, technology these companies are using, and the salary range. DevOps / SRE / Production Engineers are high in demand.

Do the typical recruitment emails you see specify salary? The ones I get tend not to.

Certainly some do. They may say "Cloud Engineer 150k!" when they meant up to 150K. Or they will tell you $80,000 to $120,000.

Note many job recruitments are from agency so they are likely hiring consultants, so paycheck doesn't come from the actual client company.
