Let’s Talk Salary StuffEver been in an interview and the recruiter asks you...
“What’s your salary expectation?”
But you don’t know what to say...
It’s more than ok to ask...
“What is the salary band for this role?”
How does this help you?...

1. It takes the pressure off of you for a bit. 
2. It gives you some room to maneuver.

Before we go further I want to address a couple of things.
1. Yes this is stressfull. It’s big life stuff.
2. Notcomfortable making decisions over the phone on the spot? It’s okay to ask for them to email you info and take time to discuss it with family. Again buys time.

But what if they asked me about my salary history?
Careful how you answer
This can potentially be used against you to artificially lower the salary they offer you. It happens.

Of $80k is double your current salary and save them lots of money.
Also you just left money on the table without even knowing it.
There salary numbers used were hypothetical and for argument sake to try to illustrate points. CYA social media 2020.
Hope this helps you <3
