SERIES 8 OF CAREER COACHING WITH OMIL. LET US ANSWER THE SALARY EXPECTATION QUESTION. First of all, there is no standard answer for this question. It is banter, entirely. It is a game played between the employer, recruiting agent, and then YOU. For that reason, I highly encourage you to understand or know your value. There is A FIGURE that’s a total disgrace to your value proposition. Do not accept it. I am speaking to candidates who understand their numbers and what they bring to the companies. When asked about salary expectations, it's important to respond confidently and thoughtfully. Here’s a strategy: 1. Do Your Research: Understand the industry standard for the role and your experience level. 2. Provide a Range: Give a salary range based on your research, leaving room for negotiation. Example: "Based on my experience and market research, I’m looking for a salary between $50,000 and $60,000." 3. Express Flexibility: Indicate that you're open to discussing the overall compensation package. Example: "I’m open to discussing this further depending on the full benefits package and job responsibilities." 4. Be Honest: Ensure your range aligns with your skills, experience, and expectations. This approach shows you're informed, reasonable, and flexible.
