I always fudge with something along the line of ... "My current comp isn't an apples to apples comparison given that this role isn't in Consulting. What is the approximate comp range for this role?
Make them jump first...
Keep in mind that your expectation doesn't have to correspond to your current comp. Do some research (glassdoor, your network, etc.) and some reflection (what would make you feel good about accepting). Don't worry about pricing yourself out because if their range is way too low, it's not a match. And don't worry about lowballing either because you can always ask where what they offered you falls in the range, and push back if it's the very bottom (e.g., why if I'm your chosen candidate and you think I'd be a great asset are you offering me the bottom of the range?).
Exactly! They give you an offer and you ask where it falls in the range for that position. In my experience, every open position has been priced - and they'll tell you after the fact, even if they were cagey about telling you beforehand. If they refused to say, I'd push with the hiring manager (your would-be boss) because that'd be ridiculous.
Are you strategy? That's a very odd salary and doesn't exactly fit with any of the salary points that I'm aware of
Strat yes, maybe it’s 155? I suppose the 147.5 was a year ago
I like that, however they typically push back and I end up telling them my inflated salary plus extra mba bonus this year. Curious if I should just decline to answer until final round
I wouldn’t decline to answer that will just piss them off. They need to have an idea of if there will be a fit between what the hiring manager can pay and what your expectation is
NEVER give a #. “If we agree I’m the best fit for this role, I’d really appreciate if you could make me an offer in line with what you have budgeted for this position.” Then say oh based on my research I think (higher amount) is more fair ;)
