interviewing for an in-house job and i have no idea what salary to ask for bc im assuming it’s higher than what you can get at an agency? the role is senior copywriter (i have 5 years experience) for a fashion brand in a coastal city, entails a lot of responsibility and managing junior writers. 100k??? idk!

In interviews I stopped asked for a specific salary and ask them what’s the range for the position first. HR has always told me straight up the range and what they’d ideally pay someone for the position. I went into my last job interview with a number that was 10k less than what the range started at so I’m really glad I asked first

How badly do you need the job? Can you do the whole “give them a ridiculous number and if they say no fine and if they say yes holy crap” thing? They probably dont know what agencies pay either... the only downside is if you threw out 175 and they were like “oh wow, we were thinking 80 grand” then you couldnt really say “oh um, that sounds fine, I was just doing that thing where...” you’d have to walk away.

Id like to hear what happens...

Always ask their budget first

In my experience, retail/fashion is the lowest paying tier (interviewed with Banana Republic, Gap, and a few others). They all wanted to pay 85-90k and seemed shocked when I was asking for 110+ as a sr. writer.
In-house for tech is another story. And agencies seem to fall in the middle.
