What do you do if you're asked about salary expectations during an interview?

I young lady was just completing her studies at USC in AI. All in her class had applied to work at Apple, in AI. Not her. Apple management found this out thus sent her an invitation to apply, asking why she had not applied. Her teachers thought very well of her. She briefly talked with the Apple person, then got a contract offer. In it they stated the salary was more than her last job, etc. She replied: "Why do you offer more that my last job? They paid me too much." They took back their offer thinking she was "extremely unusual." They then offered her the former salary plus housing. She accepted. She likes them and the work, much. Remember, unusual can be good.

Eu acredito que a melhor coisa a se fazer nessas situa??es é ser sincero quanto às nossas expectativas. Devo conhecer o mercado, saber a média de remunera??o praticada e conversar abertamente sobre o tema. Ter flexibilidade e entrar num acordo é coerente. Explicar seus motivos para ter determinada expectativa (falar sobre sua forma??o, experiência, habilidades e etc) mas também ouvir as expectativas do empregador. Caso a oportunidade seja o que realmente se almeja, vale a negocia??o. Se a sua expectativa em rela??o ao cargo, fun??o, remunera??o n?o estiver alinhada com o oferecido vale refletir, pois n?o é salutar nem para o profissional e nem para a institui??o, iniciar um novo trabalho sem animo e disposi??o.

I've often found asking "what would you be willing to offer someone with my credentials, experience and expertise?" is often the best way to answer this type of question in an interview. If they are going on a fishing expedition to find out what I think I'm worth, I'm going to put it back on them to identify how big is their pond in return.

I think it's best to be confident and have a clear idea of your expectations. Research industry standards and the job's specifics to determine a fair range. Express your interest in the position and align your skills with the job requirements. Be confident but flexible, and offer a salary range rather than a specific number. Emphasize how your skills match the job and aim for a mutually beneficial agreement.

In my experience understanding your value is crucial when discussing salary expectations. It involves evaluating your experience, expertise, and skills. Researching the average salary for similar positions can provide valuable insights. It is recommended to state your expected salary as a range rather than a specific amount.

When stating your salary expectations, provide a range that reflects your qualifications and research instead of a single number. For example, you can say ￡30,000 to ￡35,000.

It's important to spend some time researching comparable positions and salaries before approaching a salary negotiation. Research cost of living, what your likely take-home would be with taxes, and the feasibility of paying for living expenses on your salary. Check other places that hire for the same role and see their salaries. Be prepared to use that knowledge to provide a range for salary in place of a singular number.

Factor into your research and calculations how much benefits are worth. In the US job market, for example, healthcare coverage/plans can vary widely from one employer to another. Also look at other benefits such as percentage of base salary that the employer contributes to a 401(k) or similar retirement plan. Are there any tuition benefits if you want to go back to school or other professional development expenses covered? How about profit-sharing (if applicable) or transportation subsidies (if it's an in person job).

Research the market, but understand that websites with mass salaries are typically not accurate representations of the going rate at that institution.

Prior to negotiating your salary, it is important to research a particular role in the field as well as what a particular company is willing to pay for the job. Make a list of the most valuable contributions you can make and use these when comes to negotiation. If there is a range and you are asked about a concrete number, state it and then support it with the reasons why. If the hiring manager seems to be in disagreement with you, back it up by stating that (if that is the case) that this role is more demanding than the previous one and in your last job you were paid an amount just a little lower than this amount. Reason that given the demands of the job and to make it worthwhile to change, you require this salary. Then practice it.

This can be a nerve-wracking experience, especially if you've received an offer, but the salary isn't where you want it or expected it to be. In my experience, I found it helpful to compare the job description of my current role, and the description of the role I'd just been offered. Because the two roles were similar, I was able to make the case that I was already fulfilling the requirements of the role I'd just been offered, and that the main difference was that there were additional responsibilities I would be taking on were I to accept the new position, including supervision and bilingual facilitation. Using this method, I was able to negotiate a salary that was $9,000 more than the initial offer, which was a $7,000 raise for me.

When asked about salary expectations, redirect the conversation. You first want the company to fall in love with YOU so you have more negotiating power. You can also turn the question around to understanding the budget. Come prepared with questions to fully understand the scope of the position so you can accurately provide a price range.

It was an embarrassment to sit on a hiring committee, with full view of the job description and salary, and hear the supervisor of the program ask 'what is your salary/wage expectation?' The candidate handled it well and said 'with my experience, knowledge, expertise and education, I feel that the original salary offering is fair as a starting point and we can review it at the end of the three month probationary period'. Thank goodness the supervisor hired this person; wasn't long before the candidate was the supervisor.

It would be advisable not to start interviewing for a job prior to knowing a salary range for the position. Once you know the salary range, refrain from mentioning it prior to having a chance of showing your value in terms of you being the best candidate for the job. Once you have created interest in you and successfully interviewed, it is time to negotiate. If a hiring manager is interested in you and you showed your value, they are more likely to agree with the requested salary if it is reasonable. If they do not agree and you do not think it is worthwhile to settle for less, walk away. It is not wise to accept a job if the salary does not match your value and requirements. You need to feel valued, appreciated and well compensated.

I think it’s unfair of an employer not state the compensation range or amount when they list the job. At Tutors International we ALWAYS state the compensation package on the job description.

If you've researched comparable roles, you should have a general idea of a reasonable range for the position. See if you can get the employer to specify a range before you propose a number. ("I didn't see a salary range mentioned in the job description. Do you have a budget in mind for this position?") The salary should be commensurate with the position, not merely an incremental raise from your last job. If the employer quotes a range that's lower than what you're seeking, buy yourself time. ("I was hoping for a somewhat higher range, but I'll give some thought to what you're proposing.") Don't feel obligated to agree to anything on the spot. The employer may come back with a better offer!

One of the important things is to make sure that the place is well equipped with what will make you reach your highest potential at work . And also the profit your work will contribute or add to the place. Know what and how to give your max before asking about what you are gonna take. In my field, if I am going to be the reason a certain service is to be added to the place, I may negotiate for a higher salary.
