what salary to ask

on salary :

• its always good to have in your mind what salary you want.
• when asked dont be shy saying it. be confident, make the interviewer feel you really deserve it.
• whats the amount? make it a little better than norm --- a slightly higher amount than what the industry pays for the same position for someone with similar experience as yourself.
• when asked that question on the first interview i answer this way -- i expect to get paid what the industry pays for the position.
• if probed further, i say --- i expect to be paid within the range of what those already in your company is getting at the same position. (of course these answers are lies!)
• i try not to quote a price on the first interview because i dont want to turn them off too early. i try to lure them in for a second interview.
• so giving an answer they like to hear on the first interview is a good thing. its on the final interview or interview second to the final when i give them the bomb!
• when you reach this stage, they already like you so telling them the truth about salary is a good thing. at this stage, they like you so much, theyd give you what they want.
