It may be quite challenging to navigate the delicate dance of a job interview, particularly when the subject of your pay is raised. Despite the saying that "money talks," it might be challenging to explain your salary expectations to the person who will ultimately determine whether you are hired or not.
You don't want to sound too greedy but you also don't want to undersell yourself and leave that room making less than your previous job. Lucky for you, we got all the advice we needed from our experts.
Lee said that although a lot of candidates get a bad case of word vomit and decide to reveal their current salary, you don't actually need to disclose it as it's 'completely irrelevant'. Well, according to our expert, the best thing to do in this situation is turn the tables on the interviewer and ask them, "What is the salary range for this role?"
Most of the time, you'll get a response like, 'It's between 65k and 75k'. Now, you want to follow this up with another question, which is, 'What skills and experience separate those being paid 65k and those being paid 75k?' So you can already get the ball rolling mentally on what you want your next argument to be. If they won't tell you what the salary ranges for the role are, tell them what your expectations are.
