I was applying for a job and it asked my salary expectations. Normally I would leave this blank or type a fake number like 0.00 but in this case it was a drop down where you had to select a range. The ranged were in 10 thousand increments. I picked one on the high end of my desired range but I feel like this is a trick question. Shoot too high they won’t interview you, shoot too low and they will lowball your offer. I also take benefits and perks into account which I wouldn’t know when applying.

Instead of doing this I’d rather them just give us the range they’re willing to pay us so we’ll know not to bother with the process

That range is really there to test if you did your due diligence. I selected the high end for my salary range I found off of google. After the interviews they ended up offering me 10% more than I selected anyways

Out of all the options available, $0.00 would be my last choice

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales. This was a somewhat good move for me until I consider missing out on commission each month that was more than my salary. (£25k salary, over £2k per month commission)
How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?
