As a recruiter myself I always find it annoying when individuals apply with wildly inaccurate expectations. But when looking at such a different area than one’s used to, how to know?

I’m assuming BA has certain job ‘levels’ with associated ranges per business unit - are these visible anywhere? Or are there any trusted internal members willing to accept a PM and give a ballpark figure? I wouldn’t expect to be at the top of a range, but I also don’t want to waste BA’s time or mine if certain essentials would no longer be manageable…
I have the same desire to get involved and have a change of career solely for the love of the industry and desire to travel.

Find it really hard to know if I’m wasting my time (and theirs)…

What can you expect on a Band 3 corporate role for example? Being opaque really doesn’t help anyone.
