Applying to different firms and some are asking what my expected salary is. How do you approach? I don’t want to see like I’m asking for too much, but don’t want to go low and miss out on what could have been!..

Ask. Youll have a harder time asking for more than for less

This is for tax NYM. Currently a senior hoping to transfer in as a manager either at another big4 or smaller firm (RSM, GT, etc.). I was aiming to get 125 as an M1 somewhere which I don’t think is overly unreasonable. I think EY2 I agree, ask for more worst that happens if they like me they offer me under rather me liking a place and they offer low and then gotta ask for more!

What's your current salary now?

Could base it on what you would be giving up? Think this is more relevant for poaching, though.

And HR round was also done package was decided and recruiter sent some links for bgv and said offer gonna be released in next week. Is this a clean process or should I suspect?

Hi! After years of being a clinician (OT), I’m pivoting into project management. I’ve taken courses and worked on small scale projects outside of my normal role. I have found it difficult to secure a project manager role, but I did receive an offer for a project coordinator position within my organization, after a few rounds of interviewing. Here’s the issue- I expected to take a little salary cut, but not a significant decrease in pay. What is the median pay? My research says it’s about $85k

Is 80k cash + 20k company share a good deal for a junior dev role in the bay area?🙏
