When interviewing for a new role, what’s your strategy for salary negotiation? Do you tell the recruiter what your target range is or do you have any other tips or tricks? I’ve done salary ranges before and they’ve been relatively successful, but would like more tips & tricks

I try to be as honest and upfront as early as possible about what I am willing to work for. Sometimes I've waited till the end of the process to hear what the pay rate is and it ended up being way too low and wasted weeks of my life. If they aren't willing to at least meet me close to my target, I'd like to know early in the process and I think being confident is a big part of making that work.

External recruiter, I’m always up front and transparent about my numbers. Before I walk in, I have a very good idea of what the range should be and what my bottom numbers are. From there, I start realistically on the high end and meet somewhere in the middle, assuming the company will negotiate at all.

As the person doing the interview . I ask to be sure the income is in the range of you are looking for. At times it feels like a trick question. Do your research about what the position would pay and be honest with your answers.

If they really like you they will take you at your range. If they are professionals they will post the job range with the post to avoid wasting everyone's time honestly.

I ask them what the job salary range is first then I generally try to tell them my range after that and what can and cannot be negotiated.

This bowl was originally created for black attorneys in big law, but since it’s the only bowl for black attorneys, many black attorneys in other sectors have joined. Some people are apprehensive about starting another bowl for all black attorneys because it will take away from this bowl. Assuming that the conversations & topics will stay the same, What are you thoughts on keeping this bowl solely for black in big law verses Opening this bowl to any black lawyer?

I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?

Additional Posts in Salaries in Finance

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

User experience mgr salary? I support six product teams and eight reports. 20+ years experience

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.
