Don't ask. Tell. "Hey just to ensure that we are on the same page, I am ideally looking for a minimum of $xyz/year. Is that in the range for this role ?". Then pause and wait for their response.
- lucasmullens 4y agoThat's one quick way to get exactly a salary of $xyz, and with the word "ideally" in there you're admitting you'd go slightly lower.
- wussboy 4y agoThat’s why you make sure your minimum amount is something you would actually consider. Otherwise you’re only screwing yourself. On the other hand, giving a range and getting offered the bottom (which we already agreed is sufficient, otherwise why is it your bottom?) gives you the opportunity to negotiate non salary terms like health care, holiday, work from home, etc.
- codegeek 4y agoOk don't use the word "ideally" and say "minimum". But nothing wrong with getting what you want exactly. You can't have it both ways where you don't disclose your number but expect employer to. Decide what works for you, tell them that and shut up. Simple.
- nunez 4y agoask for more than $xyz and reject if they offer less than $xyz.
- goodpoint 4y agoNEVER mention your minimum. If anything you should highball.
