salary is not discussed during any interviews nor beforehand, their assumption..... i would take a hit. The HR system in the US is broken, qualified individuals cannot get thru it and even with someone inside helping management is under pressure to cut costs, hence take someone who has less than half of the qualifications vs a fully qualified individual

no need to get personal. Finance, computers, semiconductors and aerospace are the industries. As for being off a year, I have over 200+ resumes out to multiple industries, so you can't say I spend too much time on the forums. I am an industry and customer acknowledged expert in my field, I have a skill set that most people would kill for, the reason I am not getting hired is salary requirements due to my experience.
