Be Responsive, but Don’t Commit Early
Though money is one of the important factors behind taking a job responsibility, a candidate must not be the first person to ask questions concerning money. That may characterize you as a person giving importance to money above work and the opportunity to learn and grow. You should not look like a person unfit for that company’s culture. If the employer brings up a question related to your expected salary, you should play a smart game.
Instead of giving him a number first of all try to know how much they are willing to pay and then try saying, “I am pretty sure that if I prove to be great fit to your company, we both will treat each other’s interests in a fair way, right?” Wait for the employer’s response and then you can come up with the amount you decided after the research.
Tackle “This is what we can afford right now”
Sometimes employers genuinely have limited resources and are interested in hiring you. They come with reason saying, “This is what we can afford right now.” If you are really interested in that job you can come up with options, like, “Is there any performance based bonus?” or “Let’s talk about specific, measurable results that would improve your company’s bottom line and increase my earnings.” Get some written agreements at time of being hired, so that the recruiters are bound to follow it.
