What job would I ever apply for that I didn't have at least a ballpark for compensation to begin with?

I'm not going to go through the entire interview process only to then find out that they are offering half of what I'm looking for.

Sure I understand the company may not be able to give an exact price because what they're prepared to offer will depend on what the other candidates are looking for and my experience level. But they should at least be able to tell me what the minimum and maximum values are, and they should at least be able to tell me approximately where I lie within that. If I have 10 plus years of experience in the industry then I would expect to be on the high end of that salary band, if you use a manager disagree that's something we're going to have to talk about right now.
