Know how to determine your expected salary<\/b><\/h1>\n

Hi BrighterMonday,<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I have been called to several interviews and the question of how much I expect in terms of salary always comes up. The problem is, it is hard to get industry data with regard to market rates and I honestly do not know how to determine my worth. How can I go about determining my net worth when quoting my expected salary?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Hi Agnes,<\/span><\/p>\n

Congratulations on your interviews. The question about salaries always comes up as employers want to determine whether they can afford your services or not. In some cases, employers will actually ask you to quote how much you expect in terms of salary, as you are applying for the job. Bear in mind that companies usually have a budget for advertised positions and when the interviewer asks about your expected salary, they simply want to know whether your expectations fit within the budget.<\/span><\/p>\n

Salary negotiation can be scary because you do not want to undervalue yourself and get a raw deal or overvalue yourself and get disqualified. The most important thing is to know your worth<\/a> and this can be simplified by following these guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n
