Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co. I'm US based and my salary is around $250k (NYC) -I've been asked my expectation without the startup giving me a range to work from (though I've asked). I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?

Salaries overall are much lower in the UK, that’s why we are all here, homie! Agree with the 130k range

Unpopular opinion: I would say something like “I don’t want this to be driven by compensation, because I am very excited about the opportunity. I can let you know that I’m currently at $250K TC.”

You could also let them know that you are open to different compensation vehicles getting you to a number that makes sense (if that’s true),e.g. they may give you more upside with equity vs base.

Would consider cost of living in U.K. and your savings requirements to at least figure out what your floor is

Uuuumm, sooooo…. If your salary requirements are outside of their range, be ok with being cut out of the process. Unless you’re ok taking a pay cut. But then, that salary wouldn’t be a requirement at that point.

This is really weird advice considering they are clearly looking for someone in the US.

Thank you both, I should clarify that I will still be based in NYC so essentially I’ll have to take a pay cut if I want to work w the startup which is what I had guessed but the range is lower than I thought..
