WHEN HR ASKS YOUR SALARY EXPECTATIONS 😨

[0:00]What are your salary expectations? Actually, I'm not sure yet. What is your budget? I heard your company is paying 42 lakhs for this role, so, yeah. Stop! To avoid being low balled on salary, I want you to use my R E A L structure. Now firstly, we'll start with research. Briefly tell the hiring manager that you checked the current market pay for similar roles before applying. Next, clearly state the salary range you are targeting for this role. Next, you'll want to link that salary range to your job description with your unique skills and past experience. Show why this role is already aligned with what you've been doing. And lastly, mention how you will add value quickly and subtly highlight any interviews or offers. Here's how. Can you tell me what your salary expectations are? Well, I checked the market for similar roles before applying, and most positions with this scope fall in the 28 to 36 LPA range. And based on my experience in ML and what you've mentioned in the JD, I'd be looking at around 32 LPA. Also, can I quickly check, is this role expected to own projects end-to-end or mainly support an existing team? Yes, this role is expected to take ownership of projects end to end. Perfect! That's exactly what I've been doing in my current role. Also, just to share I've been receiving calls from companies that are in a similar salary range, but this role is clearly more aligned with what I'm looking for. So I'd really like us to close on a number that works well for both of us, and I can start my resignation process accordingly. Perfect. Now after this, continue interviewing with other companies and use those offers to negotiate a better deal here. Because that's how it works! And share this with a friend before they get low-balled. All the best and follow for more.
