I never disclose my salary. I accept or reject a rate based on the job requirements. It’s an automatic ghost, block, and anonymous Glassdoor review sans stars if this gets pulled.
Maurice, as a consultant, you set a rate. For employees, it is different.
Jeff Altman I see no difference. The “if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear” line is an expired tactic. My reply would be “kindly provide an exhaustive list of benefits and the dollar amount of each”. Salary is just one component, the benefit package can literally cost you thousands a year (10K+ in one year for me). I always summarize the entire package and go line item by line item. No 401K? Great, subtract 5-8,000 a year from the salary offered. Minimally acceptable coverage as a health plan? Nope, will keep my COBRA. Subtract 20K from salary. Etc.
@Maurice Levie It is easy to say you would do this but to expect the offer after doing this is different. The tone of the question is how do I save this. That requires something different than what you proposed
Jeff Altman yes, the video approaches this from a perspective of fealty by the job seeker. The only valid counter statement I would even consider is “in order to justify this salary, you would really have to lay out your direct value proposition to our bottom line”
The reply to this and the original statement would be “I have done exhaustive salary comparison for this position, and based on my experience and education the salary we discussed previously falls within the range. I’d be happy to provide you the data, but providing you with my salary stub without you providing me with the current salaries of the employees occupying the exact position you’re considering me for is a non-starter”.
Full time and contracting are different in how firms conduct themselves
Is it okay to round off your salary and say a close salary?
What do you think?
@Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter I dont know….
@JobSearchTV I dont know….
If you are asking the question, you know it’s wrong but you are looking for permission from me. Look for the video title, “I Lied About Salary in the Interview.” There’s a little more to the title
@Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter the thing is I already said 🥺. And now I regret.i said in a flow. And moreover the salary I said is equal to my gross salary . But still a bit worried since he was asking for net salary I suppose I just rounded off and said …..regretting that decision. Anyways thanks for the reply 🙂
