In this current job market, can stating the salary is negotiable hinder your chances of getting employment?

Don’t say that. Defer those questions until the end of the interviews process. Say you need to hear more details about the role and responsibilities. If they push, push back as hard by asking what the pay range is for this position you’re interviewing for.

If they won’t give you their pay range for it, they most likely don’t have a real opening, and are just “updating” their resume pool.

Thank you for your advice!

You need to know what your worth is and commit to it and sell them in it. Saying it’s negotiable can come across as unsure and indecisive.

I’m 3 months into a new job where I work for a global tech company, and I want to ask for a pay review from my manager at the 6 month mark when I pass probation.
I know I’m going above and beyond my responsibilities as I’m not just managing projects, but I’ve also set up a global PMO governance board and have identified gaps within other teams where I’m assisting with the solution.

Is it acceptable for me to be asking this from my manager, and if so how do I raise this?
