A recruiter is asking for my salary range before our first call. I want to wait until I have a better feel for the responsibilities before I give them a number. Does anyone have a polite way to push that conversation until after we discuss the job?

Real advice: think of it more as a dance of interest, than as just stating a number. What do you need to say to keep them interested? What do they need to say to keep you interested?

I’ve found recruiters sometimes ask early to make sure nobody’s wasting time. I usually give a broad range and say it could change once I know more about the role.

Research the role/title for compensation, then look at your area & region & see what the compensation is & then frame your response like “based on market research & my experience, I’m interviewing for roles that pay between x & x?” Also look at the company size, smaller companies cannot compete with the giants.

You need to do your research for the jobs you are applying for and what you think your professional contributions are worth. Discussing salary expectations upfront prevents both parties from wasting their time on an opportunity that won’t pan out anyway.

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

I received a job offer from company A and am currently negotiating salary. I have an interview with company B next week and know that they offer a higher base pay. There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
