How to Disclose Your Salary Expectations During an Interview | Indeed Career Tips

Not a reality scenario. They always start off is with “Is this exact amount okay?” Would normally reply with “Based off my qualification with X, Y, Z and my level and experience with X,Y,Z. (Just asking for a range of $1-$2 more). Would normally get an awkward silence and a you can apply somewhere else if this doesn’t match your ideal compensation reply. 😂

This is such BS, most seasoned recruiters will tell you that in order to not disqualify yourself, you are best off NEVER specifying your expectations, and leaving the negotiations when the offer is on the table. Also, are there no white people in your little HR microcosm world? That's not very EDI.

The problem was for a job prior to interview they sent a form to fill out with an exact pay expectation wanted. I told them I would need to fill it out AFTER we talked. While the recruiter seemed very interested, the older woman doing the hiring had facial expressions showing she wasn’t interested in this guy. Qualifications, skills, and even bilingualism didn’t matter, only a dollar amount I guess, unless it was a diversity hire motive too? I was told later on that I didn’t have the skills….really? For case management, which I have done for years? Nah, it was the salary I asked if they could get me near that number. It is a loss, loss, loss, because they lost my interest in their company permanently due to that method, I lost a job offer with them, and the people they serve from my culture lost someone competent that they trust. I hope they enjoy the person they hire who will not be as skilled, but had the dollar sign they liked.

But the situation with me is very different. The company wants accountant experience of 1 to 2 years and my experience is 8 months. The company has written a salary of 32k to 45k in the advertisement, while the salary of my previous job was 35, I don't understand what to answer.
I applied for the Assistant Accountant job at Indeed, then the company contacted me through WhatsApp messages.

The company has asked some questions through messages, one of them is the question that I have described above, which has not yet been answered.
I hope but not sure, call for an interview tomorrow😐😒

Jobs should reveal their salary range and it should be illegal to ask a candidate without giving him a binding offer that he can accept on the spot.

why do you want to walk me through scenarios? what benefit does it do for you?

What a silly cat and mouse game. It would save everybody time if employees were just straightforward, honest about the salary range they would be offering. one of the only exceptions I could see this would be jobs that require financial negotiation in which case that’s a skill said you would be showing in the interview but other than that it’s a cat and mouse game and it’s kind of ridiculous

Thank you for sharing the Salary Expectations video.

I love this video. So many examples because indeed knows how nerve wracking and careful we have to be to ask.

The question is… Why don’t companies just go ahead and disclose the range and ask if the pay is acceptable

I always say $1 million a year. Know what you’re worth!

Also for some reason no one will hire me.

This informative video is concise and underrated.

That dude smile alone gives me all the confidence to hire him pronto

What does it mean when the hiring manager doesn’t ask the salary expectation during the interview but instead tells you that he has an HR meeting to discuss about the general compensation for the position and be in touch? Thanks.

So What If you make a mistake disclosing your salary expectations during the phone screening interview? Is there a way you can bring it up again in the following interview ?

The employer did not ask me a question of what is my expectation of the salary but expected me to start to work for her already. What do I do now with this? The job description says a range of the salary. But she did not mention anything in the phone call interview. And she did not talk about the offer. Before starting working, what do I do now with it if she ask me if I can work for her?

Awesome content 😎

Very helpful tips, Indeed. But I have a question. Assume my expectation is 95K-110K but the company offers me 90K, final. Then what should I do? How to negotiate?

It's really usefull

What if you are applying online and are asked your salary expectations in a box where you have to put a numeric number?

Love Averie 😍 very very very well done, Indeed!!

So helpful!!!!!
