I've been requested an expected salary range by a recruiter for a position in what I think is a lower cost of living area than the one I'm currently residing. How do you answer such a question?

Don't give it to them

Ask them what the range for the position is

Thanks!

A good general piece of negotiating advice is never go first. As a candidate I work to have the company tell me their range, and as I hiring manager I work to have the candidate tell me theirs.

As a candidate something to the tune of “I consider the the entire offer and I am dependent on how you value the position. What is the range you are looking to bring someone in?” They usually just tell me at that point.

Thanks for the help 😊

I normally give them a very wide range for total compensation like 200 to 300 and say we can discuss further after both sides agree it’s a good fit. Earlier in my career when I had less negotiating power I would look up similar roles and tell them well the average for this type of position is x so I would anticipate that the total comp is around y. Does that seem reasonable? That would end the questioning typically. If they ask “but what do you want or need” respond that you want to be fairly compensated based on the salary range for the position which is Y and ask if that seems reasonable? Always end with a question. Good luck!

Thanks!

go to glassdoor and have a look at salary ranges. It might be so low that it is completely useless to even start interviews

In some cases is better to stay with a bit lower salary at your current position and wait for some take cool offer target than take the first offer

I am an associate at an AM200 firm and was (IMO) very clear prior to accepting this role that I value work-life balance and wanted to try to keep work at night on the weekends to a minimal, but since February, it seems like it’s always something that requires my time as needed disregarding “business hours” or my personal schedule. Thoughts on whether to bring this up or continue to be a team player until I burn out and pay off my student loans?
