Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Ask if there is a budgeted range for the position
I never give a firm answer and get them to give a range first
^ this advice. Ask for the salary range first. If they won't provide it, base your ask on market rates for the role, location, YOE, etc. You can find all this pretty easily on Glassdoor.
I totally get that. I’ve started saying something like, "I’m looking for a competitive offer based on the role’s responsibilities." It buys me time to get more info before locking into a number.
I always ask what their range is first and usually try to get the convo out of the way with the recruiter
Give them a range and the bottom range should be the salary you’re aiming for. If it’s more than their budget, just move on.
Yes, this question can be tough to answer. My recommendation is to give a salary range, with the low end being the minimum amount you can take without needing to find another job and the high end being your ideal salary (what you would love to make). Say, "Thank you for asking. My walkaway rate is [minimum amount], and I'd really love to make [high end of your range]." You've got this!!
