I received an email back from a recruiter at Compass, they asked me what my salary expectations are before the screening interview. Should I give a range or reply without definitive numbers?

I'd give them a number 20% over what I would accept. Give them a range and they'll just give you something near the low end.

Or you can play hardball and just say you expect competitive wage for the position. But you risk wasting your time if they could never meet your target.

Thank you!

Hi 👋. I posted here a few weeks ago about being nervous conducting a PIP conversation with my team member.
I did it this week and let me just say it was the weirdest conversation ever. The guy is usually argumentative and tries to disprove every bit of feedback. But this time he just sat there and asked no questions and said nothing.
Maybe he’s looking for new jobs already - don’t mind this at all and this would be a good outcome for him overall.

Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
