ah, the classic “what are your salary expectations?” aka “how much are you looking to make….????” 👀 Companies ask this to see how little you’ll go for or if you’re out of their price range. 👏 What they SHOULD do is list the salary range upfront so you can see whether or not their budget aligns with your expectations. 😈 But then asking you first allows them to have more negotiation power. Avoid: ❌ saying one number ❌ telling them what you currently make ❌ saying you “hope” or “wish” for ❌ being unprepared ❌ saying you’ll take whatever Best practices: ✅ avoid putting out a number first ✅ ask for their approved range or “salary band” ✅ say you’re flexible Keep it open, polite & professional 😉 you got this! 👏
