Here's a great trick I recently learned.
Look up comparable jobs in Colorado. They passed legislation that requires salaries be included with job postings.
Once you get ranges of Colorado, run it through a cost of living calculator based on where you live. Nerdwallet has a great one.
This is a good way go get past people's tendency to self-inflate what they make in salary surveys or Glassdoor
First, always check Glassdoor to see what people in that city with that title make on average. Then, check the company / agency itself on Glassdoor to see if there are salary postings for your role as well. Both of those together should inform how much money you should make.
With that, ask for $5-10K higher than what you actually want and be prepared to negotiate down to it. So let’s say you want to make $50K…ask for $60k upfront and be prepared to be talked down to $50-$55K. If they want to give you less than that, reference the industry and/or company standards you found from Glassdoor.
Best of luck to ya!
Use Glassdoor, or similar, to find the salaries of similar jobs at similar sized and type of agencies.
Similar agencies is the key. Cuz there's always a handful of smaller, crappy agencies that lay WAY below average.
When they ask what your number is, just ask what their range is.
If it sounds good to you, you’re good. If it doesn’t, tell them what your expectation is and see if they’ll meet you.
I’ve had recruiters give me the range every time. Sometimes without even asking for it.
Use salary reference guides like Glassdoor or Lever. If you can't find anything useful, google open source salary sharing Google sheets, there are quite a few out there.
Once you have an idea of a range, add a 15-20% buffer. Go for the top number. They may tell you they can't go any higher than x. But if they want to keep talking to you, that's a clue their numbers are moveable. Good luck.
