Have to disagree with the other answers here. You should always know the rough salary before you interview.
Can you imagine preparing for an interview, booking time off, doing it, only to be told that the pay is several thousand less than what you're currently on?
Now - you won't get an exact salary out of most companies. That will depend on what they think you're worth.
Most reputable companies will (depending on sector) say:
- Base salary £9,000 - OTE £35,000 (on target earnings / bonus etc)
- From £22,000 (This is the minimum they'll pay - maybe you'll get more.)
- Up to £33,000 (This is the top they can afford. You'll probably get less.)
- Between £19k - 24k Depending on experience (This is their range, you're unlikely to go outside it)
- In line with experience. AVOID! Their idea of experience is unlikely to be the same as yours...
In any case, before interviewing let them know your salary expectations. If they won't give you their expected salary range (or any other details) I'd be very wary.
Now - all this is slightly dependent on your experience and the industry you're in. It's never a good idea to go to an interview without an idea of what the remuneration is - be it salary, stock, free meals, etc.
