I love this video. So many examples because indeed knows how nerve wracking and careful we have to be to ask.

[@carolinekelly3415]

Thank you for sharing the Salary Expectations video.

[@sunandpal]

3:38 Out of nowhere 😂

[@Haynes.creative]

Love Averie 😍 very very very well done, Indeed!!

[@MailErickLee]

Awesome content 😎

[@mka6671]

The question is… Why don’t companies just go ahead and disclose the range and ask if the pay is acceptable

[@tegathemenace]

Humans are self centered and this is negotiation. Would you go into a pawn shop and tell them your "range". Or let them talk first?

[@eos_2366]

Not a reality scenario. They always start off is with “Is this exact amount okay?” Would normally reply with “Based off my qualification with X, Y, Z and my level and experience with X,Y,Z. (Just asking for a range of $1-$2 more). Would normally get an awkward silence and a you can apply somewhere else if this doesn’t match your ideal compensation reply. 😂

[@saifurrehman6756]

Very helpful tips, Indeed. But I have a question. Assume my expectation is 95K-110K but the company offers me 90K, final. Then what should I do? How to negotiate?

[@abenaanokye6463]

I've been in this position before, reply to their offer thanking them for the offer and reiterating your excitement to join the team. Let them know that based on your market research and your years of experience you would like to propose a starting salary of X to X. Let them know you are open and eager to come to a solution that suits both parties. Either they will meet you in the middle somewhere or if they can't negotiate salary ask about a sign on bonus or additional PTO.

[@edgardominguez8678]

Jobs should reveal their salary range and it should be illegal to ask a candidate without giving him a binding offer that he can accept on the spot.

[@Bmore.BLIND-GUY]

What if you are applying online and are asked your salary expectations in a box where you have to put a numeric number?

[@yvonnegonzalez861]

I always keep it as $0. I prefer to have the information communicated to me by the recruiter during the interview process than giving a number right away.

[@UzmaShah-uv3qz]

But the situation with me is very different. The company wants accountant experience of 1 to 2 years and my experience is 8 months. The company has written a salary of 32k to 45k in the advertisement, while the salary of my previous job was 35, I don't understand what to answer. I applied for the Assistant Accountant job at Indeed, then the company contacted me through WhatsApp messages. The company has asked some questions through messages, one of them is the question that I have described above, which has not yet been answered. I hope but not sure, call for an interview tomorrow😐😒

[@koolaidpuc]

What does it mean when the hiring manager doesn’t ask the salary expectation during the interview but instead tells you that he has an HR meeting to discuss about the general compensation for the position and be in touch? Thanks.

[@moonbind]

it means - middle finger

[@catcat1526]

The employer did not ask me a question of what is my expectation of the salary but expected me to start to work for her already. What do I do now with this? The job description says a range of the salary. But she did not mention anything in the phone call interview. And she did not talk about the offer. Before starting working, what do I do now with it if she ask me if I can work for her?

[@juanalexandergorjio5245]

So how did it go? Are you working for free? Making $200 an hour? Me needs to know.

[@yahiarasheed]

So What If you make a mistake disclosing your salary expectations during the phone screening interview? Is there a way you can bring it up again in the following interview ?

[@davidthedeaf]

The problem was for a job prior to interview they sent a form to fill out with an exact pay expectation wanted. I told them I would need to fill it out AFTER we talked. While the recruiter seemed very interested, the older woman doing the hiring had facial expressions showing she wasn’t interested in this guy. Qualifications, skills, and even bilingualism didn’t matter, only a dollar amount I guess, unless it was a diversity hire motive too? I was told later on that I didn’t have the skills….really? For case management, which I have done for years? Nah, it was the salary I asked if they could get me near that number. It is a loss, loss, loss, because they lost my interest in their company permanently due to that method, I lost a job offer with them, and the people they serve from my culture lost someone competent that they trust. I hope they enjoy the person they hire who will not be as skilled, but had the dollar sign they liked.

[@mariguana7918]

I always say $1 million a year. Know what you’re worth! Also for some reason no one will hire me.

[@Brandalf_The_Grey]

What a silly cat and mouse game. It would save everybody time if employees were just straightforward, honest about the salary range they would be offering. one of the only exceptions I could see this would be jobs that require financial negotiation in which case that’s a skill said you would be showing in the interview but other than that it’s a cat and mouse game and it’s kind of ridiculous

[@moonbind]

why do you want to walk me through scenarios? what benefit does it do for you?

[@ultimateasshole8754]

That dude smile alone gives me all the confidence to hire him pronto
