Comment on what's the highest increase in salary you've had or seen?
originalfrozenbanana@lemm.ee 1 year agoIt’s a negotiation. Unless you have a lot of knowledge about the industry you’re working in and what market salaries are, you’re at a disadvantage. You don’t have to say a number. They do - they’re offering you a job. If they refuse to offer you the job until you tell them your salary desire, they are trying to low ball you and you likely don’t want to work there.

I have never been an interviewer or interviewee where you are not supposed to give a number.
Of course they try to low ball you. You counter act by giving a number that allows you to haggle. That is how negotiation works.

Supposed to? According to who? There is no law saying you have to give a number. They want you to give a number. That doesn’t necessarily make it a requirement.

I already answered that in my other posts.
I am the interviewer, I ask the questions. I always ask that question because it is required information for me within the hiring process. I need to make sure your expectation is in my budget.
I don’t need to make the process unnecessary complicated by engaging in you not telling me.
If you won’t tell me I’ll either give you the minimum or ask you to leave because I really don’t want to deal with people that make things unnecessarily complicated
