Vanessa Van Edwards breaks down how to answer salary questions in interviews. Research the market range first, then give a range with your ideal number at the low end, justify it with your skills and experience, and ask what they budgeted for the role.
How do you answer the question what are your salary expectations? How you answer it could affect the salary that you get. Here is my formula. Number one. Always do your research ahead of time. Know what the salary range is for your job in your area or industry. So when they ask. According to some data, I found that the typical salary range for this position is. Second, give a range. I think giving a number can box you in too much. Give a range where your ideal is the lower end so that you have room to go higher. Third, immediately follow up with your qualifications. Since the average salary range for this is aver X to X. I've had blank years of experience. I've also had experience or skills in X. I also have this certification. Right? Immediately follow up with why you could be even better than the average. What budget did you have allocated for this position? That way you open it up to hear what number did they have in mind? And especially if it's a bigger range, you can see where they fall within those numbers. Either way, I want you to prepare for the answer so that when they ask you, you don't get nervous.
