@markwilmson: The ONE Line to Say When They Ask About Salary They ask: “What are your salary expectations?” Most candidates blow it right here — and leave thousands on the table.” Never, and I mean never, be the first to throw out a number. Whoever talks money first? Loses leverage. Here’s the line that protects you and makes you look sharp: ‘I’d love to learn more about the role and responsibilities before discussing numbers. Can you share the range you’ve allocated for this position?’ Translation: You’re polite, strategic, and in control.” And if they press you? Use a bracket instead of a single number: ‘Based on market research, roles like this typically fall between $75K and $85K, and I’d be comfortable somewhere in that range depending on benefits.’ Handle this right, and you walk out with more money and more respect. What’s the hardest part of talking about salary for you? Drop it in the comments.
