Application - i put 0, avoid all together or something low to get in the door based on the requirements to fill.

They will inevitably ask in a screening interview. Tell them a number about 10% higher than you’re willing take. If that number is lower than market value - tell them the number you think is fair based on market research.

If it’s a job application on a website: I just write a detailed JavaScript injection that pretty much takes over their whole recruiting software to get me around average or below average pay, so I can exceed their expectations when I’m hired and be more qualified for a promotion. I then max out my HSA and 401K because I need to maximize all potential gains.

If it’s verbally: 155K + 30K bonus with a 30k Sign on. Most the time it’s been for roles that pay 85-105K, so it’s been a long shot, so I like to stick to the websites…

Look at Glassdoor for estimates😀

Ask them what’s their budget for the role ?

Some applications need a mandatory number before you speak to someone
