Thermo Fisher Scientific Project Manager interview questions

I applied to the position and got a phone interview request from the recruiter the next day. She was really nice and it was really just a conversation to see what I was looking for, etc. She asked for my salary expectations, which I provided the market value from low to mid (I'm very aware of what the going rate is at similar companies). She informed me that the offering was for $75k-$80k/year... probably the lowest budgeted salary range I've ever heard. I really wish companies would start posting this information in an effort to not waste applicants or recruiters times.
