Asking salary range before proceeding with the interview?

This happened to me last year. I was applying for IT role (I've been in the industry for about 11years now if that matters). Usually hinahanap ko talaga ung my salary range sa job post since ilang beses nako nakaranas na dumaan sa several interview na malinaw ung expected salary ko from the start then after final interview sasabihin nila na hindi kaya ung expected ko which is parang sayang sa oras for both sides.

Going back to the story, a recruiter reached out to me via email regarding a job and kung available bako for initial HR interview. Before confirming my availability, i asked if ma disclose ba nya yung salary range which she declined. She then told me na never ask that daw yung salary range agad before the interview blah blah. I disagree with that statement pero hindi ko na sinabe then I proceeded with the interview nalang since available naman ako.

After I joined the call, the recruiter introduced herself as usual then inulit na naman nya saken na not only for this job post, na kahit saan daw ako mag apply "never ask the salary range agad" bago ang interview. I said ok nalang then the interview proceeded as usual.. After 15-20 mins ata ng tanungan namen regarding my experience, the job and other things tinanung na nya ko ng expected salary ko which is way out of their budget then we ended the call after that.

I mean, kung sa email palang na disclose na ung sahod, hindi na kame magsasayang ng almost 30 mins hahahaha. Wala ako problema kung ganun ung policy ng company nila, pero sa tagal ko ng ngttrabaho, aware ako na my mga nag disclose talaga ng salary range agad. And yung inaadvisan pa nya ko na never do it again kahit saang company na tipong yun ung norm sa lahat.
