Argued with my sister over not being able to find a job. She says that I don't get offers because when they ask me what salary I want I actually answer, she insists I should never answer this question and just tell them "make me an offer"... even though they ask it on applications and sometimes it's the first thing they ask when I enter the interview.

Is she right? Should I just not answer? I tried not doing it but they always insist and never tell me what the position offers when I ask. I'm not a Rocket engineer or something, just a graphic designer and giving an average salary that I'd hope they negotiate.

You should ask for the position's salary range instead of fabricating a number yourself.

Depending on how well you fit the profile and how well the interview went, you then have a good feel of the situation and respond accordingly.

Female perspective opinion on what you should or shouldn't do. Its irrelevant when you are a man.
If its a hard gig set an extreme high price.
If its average gig set some reasonable price.
If its something easy again set a reasonable price.

Should I be on /biz/ at my nice job? Will the cameras see these types of responses?

It’s better practice to not throw out a number first. If you come in too low they will lowball you. If you come in too high they will reject you. They are looking for reasons to reject you. Embrace the tension and refuse to answer

Give them a range and then give them reasons why you should be on the higher end of it.

kek i make over $200k at 28 because when they ask me this retarded question, i answer 30% more than i'd settle for... and they end up giving it to me every time

i think honestly they're just curious by the crazy number and move me forward

>> No.55407213

I always said, "Ten billion dollars." Before I got my current job. Always got a laugh. Got offers somewhere like 90% of the time. Remember to always barter up after the initial offer and then once that's covered ask about what the signing bonus is like
