Depends on technology being used. Cloud/AI/DevOps - over $100k minimum. If it’s strictly a windows in house server environment it may be less than that. Look at median salary for the area by the job title.

Make them state their target number first. If they absolutely don’t want to state that then say what you want + a buffer. You can always meet in the middle, but it is almost impossible to go up past a number once it comes out of your mouth, not theirs.

Thanks so much!

What setting do you work in? How many years experience and what is your hourly wage? I have 10 years experience, and am a CLT and I was getting paid $25.93/hr in a SNF and I think I was getting low balled. I am applying for new positions and want to make sure I am requesting high enough, but not too high. Thanks!
