How do you answer question for salary expectations, when contacted by recruiter?

40% higher than you make now so you can settle around 20-25%

Why are they asking? Are they trying to fill a specific role, or just rep you in general? They don’t really need that info if they’re industry experts. They should already know your general band

OP, check Glassdoor first so you know what's reasonable.

Always "lower than what I expected" attitude then ask for 5% more.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

I just received an offer on a job I would really like to accept. The salary offer is about 25% higher than my current salary, which I am happy about, but is also the low $ on the range I had expressed to the recruiter and the exact $ that I put on the online application (I had to put a $ figure). Am I being greedy trying to negotiate for a bit higher? Do they expect me to counter? I have been burned by NOT negotiating in the past but who can be mad at a 25% increase??
