Hello, I have been on parental leave for two years. I will have an interview with a bank tomorrow to possibly go back to work as a sales assistant for a banker.... I was making around USD 160k at my last job, would it be feasible if I ask for the same salary given my leave?

I’d ask for whatever the current going rate is. The economy has marched on so you should get what everyone else is getting. You shouldn’t dock yourself for raising a kid.

I think you would have no problem asking for the same, if not slightly more. I think it really depends on if you have kept up with current industry standards. As others have said, it really depends on the market rate for the position, but rates have gone up pretty much across the board since Covid. Hope you get an offer!

Definitely ask for the same. It can be tempting to feel like you deserve less after you've taken a break, but full-time parenting keeps you sharp, ha! Just stay confident during your interview & know that staying at home hasn't diminished your worth. Good luck!

Yeah, my son is autistic and when he turned 18 his behavior became unmanageable. I had to organize a hospitalization, legal framework, medication, medical support, and new living arrangements. It was no cup of tea..... it took two years..... my doctor told me we had achieved a lot in this time frame because I had the right support.

So I had my interview. The HR lady is low balling me. I told her my number, and asked what the budget was. She didn’t precise. We left it for later.... which is not a negative. I am rather senior for the position, however I would not like to loose an opportunity to get back in the game again. I have missed working....

Market rates change, so I’d suggest finding out what those are before negotiating.

When hiring, we set a salary range based on the value of the work. Whether a candidate made more or less doesn’t affect that. Unless they bring something significant to the table that we think will produce much stronger business results than we would’ve expected from the role agnostically, we’ll stay in our range. Where they fall in the range is based on how they stack up to other candidates and our existing employees.

I recently interviewed for a small strat consulting company (energy industry). I have 3 YoE and would be moving from engineering. the HR person asked me what my salary expectations were I was caught offguard and said I would expect it to be at least what I make now (around 100k). Im now worried theyll lowball me because I really shouldve asked for 120+bonus (I think this is market rate?) But they have salary bands they follow right?So if they pay consultants 140 usually would they offer me 100k?
