You could always just be honest and say “ happy to provide that! But I’d like to learn what you’re able to offer before I disclose my expectations.”

This is the way

What’s the closest equivalent role that may be comparable? Depending on the company, I would look at those roles’ compensation and then add some :) if it really is a shot in the dark, add 30-50% to your current compensation, assuming this is one or two steps up from your current role/equivalent.

Say I make $xx now and in order to pull me away from my current position, Id like to be making $xx+25%.

Noooo do not tell them your current comp

I studied computer science in school but I didn’t do well due to life coming in the way. I got poor grades but ultimately finished my degree without any internship experience.

After three months of job search, I started for 45K at a construction company as a Jr App Support. After a year I shifted in to QA for 65k and now after a year of QA, I have finally gotten a position as a software engineer for 78K base.

The imposter syndrome is finally gone!

Hang in there, hard work pays off.
