Be confident when answering: Some employers are interested in your answer and your delivery. Don't provide an exact number: A set amount can indicate you aren't open to negotiations. Explain your reasoning: Highlighting your experience or your educational level can add justification for your salary.
Here are examples of what you could say: “I'm looking for something in the $85,000 to $100,000 range, but this could change based on what I learn about the role." “I believe an annual salary between $70,000 and $80,000 reflects my skills and experience level. However, I'm flexible and open to hearing your budget.”
“Thank you for asking. I feel that an annual salary between $67,000 and $72,000 is in line with the industry average and reflects my skills and experience level well. I am, however, flexible and open to hearing about the company's compensation expectations for this position.”
Provide a Range: Instead of giving a specific number, offer a salary range. Make sure the lower end of the range is the minimum you would be willing to accept, and the higher end reflects your ideal or slightly above your ideal salary. Remember to consider total compensation, be flexible, and express your enthusiasm.
When they ask you about salary expectations, don't just give one number, but rather give them a range, with the bottom of the range being a salary you'd be happy with. That way, if they go for the low end of your range (which they often do), you'll be happy with the offer, but there's also a chance they offer you more!
