If you’re wasting time like that, try being much more up front with the recruiters about salary. Name numbers. In my opinion it’s a trap to think that not doing so would allow it to be higher. And you named Citadel, yes, at hedge funds the comp is a primary reason to work there. The recruiters I worked with in that sector were totally comfortable with me saying the #1 reason I was interested was comp. But they will want you to relocate.
