Well, I don’t consider salary as the most important thing in a job. However, it is important but I would put passion for the job in the first position. Having said that, I think for both parties it would be more efficient if they would know in advance what they can expect. Don’t you think that it would be a pity if both parties (interviewer and job candidate) would be the perfect match but they just can’t agree on the salary? And they realise this after having met three times maybe. If the company would really not want to pay what the candidate expects than they both just wasted their time. Even though, every interview is an experience that can teach you important lessons, no doubt about that. It’s just that - in the end - the result is not that, what it could have been.
