How do you negotiate salary when applying for a job?

In the past, I had something that was called for an interview and I didn’t fit the company for 70% of the technology stack, but that’s not the point. The bottom line is that in almost 90% of interviews, whether you suit them or not, they ask about the desired salary. You feel that they won’t take you here, but everyone will definitely ask about the desired RFP.
Soon I will start looking for a job and I feel that I will face it again. How to make sure that you are asked this question after they determine if you are suitable for them? I want to try to answer this question: "I will answer this question after you determine whether I suit you or not." But I'm afraid to be rude.

Yes, just tell me what you expect.
The question is asked in order to pay you as little as possible, and if you name a figure less than they themselves were going to offer, then they will offer you your figure. If you ask for more than they are willing to pay, they will bargain.
There is nothing more in this matter.
The bottom line is that if you lower your salary, you won’t get a job, because they are looking for a specialist who will cope with the task, and not just the cheapest one. Therefore, if you come up, they will bargain and take it. If you don't fit, the RFP discount won't help.

I will add to Saboteur : even before the interview, you report:
"Expected salary: from [amount] [currency]".
You will save a lot of time, effort and nerves!

It is best to move away from a direct answer ... But often this is the decisive factor.
I always say "from my last job (with such and such a load) I left the position of $1,000,000,000, here I would like to start with the same figure, and as I grow, I would like to raise it."
It is important to follow 2 rules!
1) Don't say "yeah nah..." if they offer too little.
2) Do not grunt if they offer too much.

Just say the number you want. Even if it seems to you that you are asking a lot, it does not matter. If you fit, you will be corrected. BUT! You will never be corrected upwards. Only to a lesser extent.
You don't have to be ashamed of what you want. If there is fear, then despite it, you need to name the number you need.
If suddenly you get a refusal, then you can always ask for what reason. If it's about the money, they'll ALWAYS tell you that. No one will lie that you did not fit because of the experience, although in fact it is because of the money.
In this situation, you can ask about the salary range if it was unknown in advance and adjust your offer.
Also, if you know the fork, then ask for the maximum. Again, they will correct you, if anything.

Strange position) For many employers, the salary factor is important. Therefore, a simple situation, be honest about what salary you are applying for. Then you either bargain, or disperse.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
