The job doesn't have salary information at all.

Tell him you are already wealthy and want to donate your entire salary to the recruiter. All he has to do is get you this job.

> >recruiter from the firm emails me asking what salary I'm looking for

What kind of job?

If it's a software engineering job in a major city like NYC or San Francisco, and you already have a job, you could do things like

- ask how much they're willing to spend

- you could tell them that you're looking for a competitive compensation package for your skills and location and that salary is just one part of it, which you can't tell them because it may be flexible depending on factors like vacation, stock grants, bonuses, 401k matching, other perks, etc.

- if they're really pushy then they might be a place you don't want to work, and I'd just wish them well and walk away, but you could also try throwing out a number that you know is like... 95th percentile for your area.

- if you really want to give a number but not be tied to it, i guess you can say later that you expected more vacation, stock, bonuses, etc. and since those aren't in their offer you're going to need more salary to compensate?

obviously none of this applies if you're not in a super highly demanded field in an area with shitloads of jobs.

throw out a ridiculously high number you would be happy with. either they match it or they start negotiating you down (assuming they actually want you).

>>12341889
Marketing job in law, it's in a city with a much higher cost of living than the one I'm in now.

>>12341919
Seems a bit early for the negotiation stage.

>>12341954
look at the base salary in the city then ?? Once you get a feel for what other people entry level in your field are making based on the area tell them that you want that with potential to be promoted to higher pay

>>12341536
look at what a guy with your profile earns for a job like this. Recruiters hate when someone puts N/A they want to know if they can afford you or not. Dont give an exact number but a 500$ estimate per month. Ex: 3000-3500 per month so 36000-42000 per year.

>>12341536
tell the recruiter you want to be paid half of what the commander gets

>>12341536
Don't type N/A type "Negotiable".

Therefore negotiate. Ask him what's an average salary range for someone in my position, with my background, and for this area.

Probably just testing if your a pusys loser or a have big dreams. Don't take me word for it tho im just a student.

>>12341536
look up the average salary for the position and say you want that + 5k

>>12341536
You're supposed to know what the job is worth

>>12342578
quads of truth

>>12341536
tell them what your last job paid say 50k/yr. or whatever it was..... but youll work 4 times as hard for them, because they can get you half-price for $100k/ yr.
:). BABOOM BABY YOU HIRED.

3-4 times the cost of a 1br apartment you'd like to afford

>>12341832
Wow. It's like I'm really on Facebook. Have you ever thought of killing yourself?

>>12343165
Don't do this. Don't actually tell them the exact salary of your previous job.
Inflate by like 10k or 20k minimum, otherwise they'll lowball the fuck out of you and you'll only be offered a few grand above what you were making before.

>>12341536
How about you actually think about what you should be paid and send that over instead of being a retarded autistic fuck Greg?

Make up some bullshit number like $10m a year.

>>12345601
>what sort of salary are you looking for?
>$10 million a year.
>haha, very funny anon. but seriously
>$10 million a year.
>hangs up

>>12341536
Don't apply to jobs that don't post a range up front...

>>12345617
Saves me the effort of doing it myself. It's an employee's market.
