How do I negotiate salary? I've entered the world of white collar work and all the job postings are asking me to guess how much they pay rather than just saying so. I usually say "In relation to the job requirements I expect the salary to be within the region of X~" and say a medium number. From what I understand X will be the absolute ceiling the employer will consider and I should expect a few thousand below that. I'd rather negotiate down than up. How should I do it?

Ask for far more than your worth or that the job typically pays.

They will scoff, then counter offer with far more than you were ever expecting.

Trust me

search for similar jobs in colorado, and look at the salary range to at least get an idea

This, or just tell them you’d prefer to let them make an offer because you’re not sure what’s fair for the current market. I usually just play dumb and let them make an offer. If it sucks I move on. Sometimes they will bitch about this though, that’s when you give them a number way too high like this other anon said.

A lot of application forms have it as a mandatory blank question, saying I don't know is fine but a number way too high seems bad. They could discount me for being a retard or another application with a real number could be next in the pile.

Based. Literally happened to me the other day.
HR: So what is your current salary and whats your expected?
Me: My expected is 120K...depending on benefits that you offer
HR: <Shocked> What!!!

I just ask for a raise once a week until I get it. Literally drive your manager insane.

I had a countless amount of asshole bosses, I honestly gave up and now I just invest in easy shit like memecoins like vinu, it's safer than risking getting fired for asking for more money.

You ask them the salary range in the position, if they dont give it just say a high number based on the glassdoor average salary on your field.

I had an employee like you once. I just said no every time. He kept asking knowing it'd be a no. He thought it was funny until he realized he's actually not getting one.
