What do you say when asked your comp expectations but you know you are at the very top of their band? I find myself not wanting to even give a number anymore but people seem put off when I decline to give a target range.

Like the person above said, tell them what it will take to get you to move. If they can’t meet it, then the job isn’t for you. Don’t downplay your expectations, get your money coming in the door. Companies won’t just willingly give you more money, you have to tell them what you need

You can sometimes get away with "The range you posted meets my needs, I'd need to understand the total comp to really give a fair expectation." Not always but after they discuss everything, they forget to pin you to a specific number.

At this stage in my career I give them what it will take to get me to make the move, be positive and be upfront and honest! Show your value, your experience and then provide data that backs up your worth. Show them and proof is what they will fight for if you’re the right candidate.

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
