I have never had an initial recruiter message contain comp info. Literally 0 out of hundreds. Maybe 10% are willing to provide hard numbers upon request, and about 50% have given me numbers after a 15 minute ~~phone call~~ sales pitch.
This is definitely a pain, 100%. I've read as many as 90-95% of messages some engineers get from recruiters don't include comp at all within the outbound, it's a shame! On top of that, it's many times impossible to understand anything deep about the company, what projects they have going on, information about the team members you'd be working with etc. Recruiting, and job descriptions in general, can do so much more than they do today and actually be an asset to engineers instead of time drains.
