Found a great role, but the application portal is being a pain. It won’t let me advance without entering a specific salary number, and the job post says nothing about the budget. I prefer to enter 'negotiable' to stay safe, but it's restricted to digits only. I’m worried about locking myself into a bad rate or getting auto-rejected. What do you put when you're forced to guess?

Just put in a number that's within the reasonable range for the position. Don't overthink it, they're not going to hold you to whatever you typed into their portal. Assuming things proceed, there will be time to talk seriously about pay later on.

I would put about $5,000 more than I'm willing to work for. That way, they can't strong-arm you into lowballing yourself, but it's not so much that it puts you out of the running for consideration.

Apply with a secondary email with a fake name and enter one dollar.

I normally put in a little higher than the number I would actually be willing to accept. I hate forks like that though

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?

I have a possible opportunity at Protiviti. Coming from big4 and wondering if Protiviti has fairly similar perks. I’ve read the 2022 benefits guide and it gave a oddly low PTO count of 16 days.

Already heard WLB is better and the culture, but I feel like I’ve gotta find that out first hand. Protiviti
