Negotiating Salary

>>1249809
research average wage for the area in your field.
ask for that exact sum.
after a year or two when you proven yourself to the company you go and renegotiate.

unless you have significant previous experience there is no other way.

also forgot. that typical salary i see for "producer" roles in nyc range anywhere from 40k to 80k.

would it be unreasonable to mention my current salary if they gave some crazy lowball number like 40k or less?

If they give you a satisfactory offer you can counter. Feel free to say something to the effect of what you currently earn is more, and for it to be worthwhile you would be looking for a similar or larger amount. If it is substantially lower they might not be willing to compromise so much, but in business negotations it boils down to leverage, and having a larger salary currently is leverage in your favour.

forgot to mention this in the OP and related to your comment:
>>1249816
i would just ask for the median but the issue is the median varies a ridiculous amount, at least by what i can tell from indeed
>>1249824
do I let the employer make the first number or do I give a number if they ask? do i mention my current earnings or leave it ambiguous if they offer a low number and Im open to counter?

glassdoor related companies?

>not asking salary up front
wtf is wrong with you

>asking about salary immediately

sounds like a bad idea to me. i dont want to come off as greedy and only caring about the money (even if that is the case, still have to play the game). sounds more like a good way to get autofiltered out.

sorry didnt realize you were a bitch. Employers love to hire bitches instead of people who are confident in their skills and what they are worth.
bring it up with the recruiter before the 2nd interview op

>>1251445

Don't ask for the median. The company likes you; that was the point of the interview. Now they need to see how much you cost.

If you just ask for the median, they're going to know that's exactly what you're doing. They have access to that same information. What they don't have access to is the total depth of your knowledge and competency. The first real inkling they'll have of your value is the number you're going to give them.

/biz/ operates on a weird mixture of autism and ignorance. They forget about the human component. If I have two people with identical résumés in front of me, and one asks for $10,000 below median, the other for $10,000 above; I'm going to hire the latter. Most on /biz/ would hire the former. My perception is that the cheaper hire feels inadequate or is desperate for some reason that I missed. The latter knows his worth. Confidence is attractive to employers.

My advice would be to ask for a bit above median; just be sure to justify it. Anything you say will work, really. Just be sure to do it with confidence.
