Sounds like we wouldn't be compatible.
You say "I've also found that folks who can't / won't talk money - usually not great hires for a bunch of reasons."
The same goes in my experience for companies which insist on talking salary before the job offer. It's a red flag.
"you have to have a clue about what type of comp would work for you (early on in initial call or two) or it's just not worth continuing forward"
Of course I have a clue, but I'm not going to put myself at a disadvantage in the negotiation by revealing it before I've been given a firm job offer and heard a number from the company first.
Also, in my experience recruiters are the ones who push hardest to hear salary expectations up front. They know it'll give them a leg up in negotiations, and some of them are even paid specifically to get that number (as one recruiter was brazen enough to reveal to me).
