I applied for a job at a car brand head office over a month ago.

Marketing Manager reporting to the Director of Marketing.

They've just reached out today for a phone interview and mentioned also doing a zoom interview.

I'm being asked for my salary expectations.

I make $81K in my current job but I'm underpaid.

I did some research on the company online and the general concensus is that people are under paid.

I want to ask for $110k (11 years experience)

Am I nuts?

Ask for it. If they don’t pay you, it’s best for both party to walk early in the stage.

If you believe you are worth $110k, nothing’s wrong with asking $110k or $120k. You don’t need to tell them what you are currently making.

The only time I say tone down the expectations is after you talk 10-20 recruiters and you aren’t getting any interest from them after telling them your expectations.

That’s a good number but like the comment above aim for a little more so you have room to negotiate

Don't get suckered into giving a number. Whoever shares a number first in a negotiation, often loses.

Just say you want what's fair given the market and the value you bring. Dodge dodge dodge. If they keep pressing, say 'it sounds like having number is important. Did you have range in mind?' They 100% do, and often they'll share it. If they don't, that's a red flag.

Assuming you could work within the range or close to it, just say, I'm sure we could come to an agreement acceptable to both parties.

DON'T say you could accept something in their range if you can't. Some candidates do this because they just want to get to the next step and figure they'll push the employer to offer beyond their range during negotiations. It works sometimes, but it's also risky. A changing story on salary requirements is worse than no story.

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

If I stayed at the firm, I feel reasonably secure as an associate of not being laid off due to the market. How do in house counsel positions typically fare during lay off cycles?

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
