When they ask for salary requirements during an interview?

[Ohene]

If you didnt do your research and mention a number thats relatively low, what is the probability that the company laughs and still pays you high as opposed to lowballing you?

Depends on the other applicants but its pretty dumb to not know what the expected salary is

I hate being asked that shyt, it's literally one of my pet peeves. As if they don't already have a pay range for the position.

i hear you, truth be told I was called during class and at first didnt expect the requirements to be asked. based on the title i had trouble finding it earlier

Depends on the company. Some will give you a lower offer and others are more honest. If no research is done, the best thing is a general answer, like "I would like to be compensated according to my experience and level" or say that your salary range is flexible.

Research the position before hand and then ask for 10-15% more.

I just say "this much" and position my finger and thumb like Karen in Goodfellas

Rules of salary in an interview...

1. Never bring it up first...ever...it comes off as you asking an intimate detail about a job that you don't even have...

2. Do your research so you already know if the salary is low...fair...or high...also remember this...your raise is based off what your incoming salary is...I know of so many people who fell for the "well we will start you out low and then move you up after a year"...don't fall for that cause it hardly ever happens ever...

3. The best thing to do is leave a salary as negotiable...for example...tell them you know that the industry standard is XXX amount, but depending on the perks they can offer you will be willing to work for that, above that, or below that...you give a hardline 70k, and they are only willing to pay 68k, congrats you won't be getting that job...ask them "what are some of the auxiliary benefits of this position, for example are their any WFH days and can that be negotiated"...

4. Be honest with yourself...how bad do you need the job...if you need it then you might just have to go with the lowball offer...

Remember that salary is not just the base of this job it is the base of your next job, unless you are going to just lie about the next job, which is a slippery slope, because HR is not supposed to tell another prospective employer what you made...but as a manager trust me they do...I've asked what other candidates I interviewed made and I have never once ever had the other person not tell me...

Also don't ever list your salary history anywhere for anything...any job that ask you for it is a job you don't want...if they have a history of you taken 45k to do a job...guess how much they are going to offer yeah

Good luck breh its a jungle out there

NEVER EVER ALLOW THEM TO FORCE U TO MENTION A # FIRST

you will always lose


tell them you are negotiable

then when they finally mention a pay range
decide where u feel u fall and go for it
