I’m in my 30s. Mid-career professional. Today I had an interview and they asked about a salary range and I just honestly told them how much I make. It’s totally against the advice but I’m comfortable with what I make and feeling more means more responsibility which I don’t necessary want 😅 Did I do a wrong thing?

Yes. Never give your number first. What if they budgeted $20k over the number you gave them? You just left $20-25k on the table.

It’s €15-20k for me then 🤓

When I used to live in the US I was always so aggressive with negotiating my salary. Now not so much 😕

It’s ok!!! Do what is best FOR YOU! You can always negotiate come offer time. Don’t doubt it. Focus on the interview and then reach out once you get an offer. A few of my friends help women negotiate for free. One of my friends has added $250K total to women’s salaries so far in 2021

My final round with Deloitte for UK Tech Consulting Manager position soon. Strangely it’s not a PMD round as it usually is for other Big4/tech consulting firms.
1. Can anyone tell me if they’ve been through the whole process without speaking to PMD? (First round Sr Manager, second Case Interview by a manager and third again by a manager) 2. What is a typical salary to expect? I was asked in screening but kept it vague (e.g can discuss later bla bla). I was hoping 75-80 (ridiculous?)

Do any carriers in Europe pay salaries equal to their American counterparts? I’ve found that the salary for my role is pretty much halved across the Atlantic.

I know that my company, Chubb, does and from time to time they have rotational programs where not only do you maintain your US salary but you also get COLA and a housing allowance, unfortunately nothing right now nor permanent.

Another option would be insurance companies that pay your American salary while working abroad.

Any leads?

Guessing there’s nothing I can do about it now.

Typical! Research shows the average salary as 151k and I'd like to push for closer to 140k. Do I keep my mouth shut until after the interview or do I say something now? I don't want to dissuade them but I also don't want to waste time. I make about $110k now.
