I think you're really right but I think the big fear is asking for too much. I have a genuinely difficult time valuating my worth (salary) because I have no frame of reference. It isn't a matter of importance but rather self valuation comes with experience and most grads don't have any. I'm just afraid of getting "ripped" off. In the end, I want a position that I love regardless of pay. I know that means that eventually I will be doing my own start up.
- jaxn 15y agoYou can say that. Like stonemetal said, you don't want to throw out the first numbers, but you can say: "I am looking for a salary that is consistent with the responsibilities and duties of the position." Good employers know that if they rip you off, you will leave in a year for a big pay increase. You can ask around after you get an offer and see if it is acceptable. (And you should always sleep on an offer anyway).
- wasd 15y agoThanks, that is quite helpful.
