I have an interview at Bloomberg LP in the UK coming up and would love some advice if possible.

The role has an incredibly generic title (Associate) - but it's working on a few key initiatives. They are looking for 5-10 years experience in a relevant field. I have nearly 6 years exp specifically working on the initiative I would be employed to work on, which I hope makes me stand out a little more.

What should I say I would be looking for in terms of salary? Should I aim high?

Thank you!

It is important to remember that if pushed hard, be precise in your language.

I see many candidates putting the foot in it when negotiations happen.

If you are being represented by a recruiter, let the recruiter deal with it.

A good recruiter should be protecting you from such pressure and will give you an additional bite at the cherry when negotiating.

for extra context: I have worked for an NGO/charity for the last 5+ years and have never worked in a true corporate environment so I have no real reference point for salaries. I don't want to undersell myself, but also don't want to outprice myself.

thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. I have had a couple of calls with the team in question but we haven't touched on salary yet. I had a quick call with someone in HR who asked me what I wanted which I didn't respond to at that point. I asked what their salary range was and I was told that isn't usually how they operate which seemed a little strange to me. I will try asking someone in the direct team what their range is and see if they're a little more transparent. thanks!

On the other hand I work on a small team and there is definitely room for improvement. I think the issue is the size of the team? Like, if there were 2-3 more people it wouldn’t be too bad.
