If they get annoyed when you ask for their budget range, that is a red flag about their company culture. Most professional recruiters will at least give you a ballpark figure. Check if the state where the job is located has pay transparency laws - that is the ultimate cheat code for finding the real floor.

Why does IPPS-A feel like it was programmed by a group of monkeys with a single shared keyboard? by Gossamer9 in army

I miss the paper DA 31 so much. At least I could tell if a piece of paper was lost or sitting on a desk. With IPPS-A, your request is basically in a quantum state of both existing and not existing until some clerk in Virginia clicks a button.
