        I will second this…

        think you deserve X, its best you always ask for X+Y and if needed, say its negotiable.. if you don't ask its going to be always below market rate.. one prime reason why there is a paygap between men and women.

        • mizzkitty on 06/09/2015 - 00:39

          But how do I word it when I ask? Do I bring it up in the interview? Wait and see if I get offered the job and then say it? have never done this before.

          @mizzkitty: wait for them to make you an offer. Then feel free to say "actually I think I'm worth this for this reason". It's unlikely to make them change their mind.

          Source: me regretting accepting first offer from a past employer.

        • WhyAmICommenting on 06/09/2015 - 13:12

          @mizzkitty:

          Also be prepared to give a 5-10k range during the interview that covers your final desired figure.

        • kpax on 06/09/2015 - 13:54

          @spillmill:

          anytime you give a rane, expect the receipient to hear only the lower range…

          so your ranges should alwasy be your higher range and some even higher range… Its normal for us to think they will settle at teh middle. doesn't happen…

          @mizzkitty:

          I try to talk about salary at the end… this is for jobs I want. First my aim is to ask questions to see if the job suits my needs( interesting/challenging etc.) and that also makes it look like they have to qualify them to me…

          when question comes up, I ask for market rate and the relevant to the value I generate…

          then I go full monty for a high rate and get it or negotiate down a bit.. or walk away… That is the most important bit, being ready to walk away.

          @kpax: Fair point, there's no bonus for being "reasonable" it seems.

        • mooboy on 07/09/2015 - 09:25

          I think that could be bad advice, to ask for X + Y, if all you want is X.

          I remember interviewing one guy, and thought he was ok, but when it came to the pay negotiation, he asked for X+Y. So we said no. Then they guy who recommended him said he only wanted X, but the hiring manager said he didn't want to hore someone who was starting off unhappy with their pay.

          Long story short, I think if you want X (at a job interview), ask for X.

        • kpax on 07/09/2015 - 09:30

          @mooboy:
          companies/recruiters/HR have the upper hand always by the nature of teh process.. they talk to N number of people and so are used to the salary dance.. Employees do this dance once every 3-4 years..

          obviously you read the situation… i always ask the company to name their budget and if they do the dance then, its X+ Y..

          so in your example this company seems more straightforward and would have laid the cards on the table.. if they won't then they are trying to screw me over and so it is X+Y & negotiable..

          You win some, you lose some..

        • mizzkitty on 08/09/2015 - 21:36

          @kpax: I did the interview and it didn't come up yet, so if they offer me the job I will ask then. I know the range they offered but I don't want to be at the base. I just don't know how to ask

        • mizzkitty on 08/09/2015 - 21:41

          @spillmill: will try this if I get the offer… haha.

    • DeafMutePretender on 05/09/2015 - 23:54

      Your ability to ask for a higher salary depends on your bargaining position/power. Your bargaining power depends on how replaceable of an employee you are. If you are in any way remotely expendable, then the employer will probably just go "how about no, Kitty? how about I replace you with a cheap and exploitable 457 foreign worker, Kitty? Now you would have no salary at all, Kitty. Now step out of my office and stop wasting my time, Kitty"

      • [Deactivated] on 06/09/2015 - 00:06

        Surely your employer wouldn't say that if he/she called you "Kitty" in the first place…

        • mizzkitty on 06/09/2015 - 00:35

          I have no bargaining position because they are interviewing me and a bunch of other people who they thought might be suitable. If I ask for too much, they will pick someone who is willing to do the same job at the cheaper end of the pay bracket ? I think so?

        • am274 on 06/09/2015 - 01:05

          @mizzkitty: when looking for a switch, always try to get more than one offer/inteview. If you have an offer in hand, then you are in very good position to negotiate with rest and you can even tell them you already have an offer. Else, just ask little more than what you are happy to accept but tell them it's negotiable.

          @mizzkitty: unless ur applying at mcdonalds or similar, that isn't necessarily the case. The salary range is there for a reason.

          Just remember that who ever speaks first loses. Good luck!

        • mizzkitty on 06/09/2015 - 14:41

          @spaiydz: what do you mean 'whoever speaks first'?

    I think the key is to demonstrate why you are worth their time, what skills do you offer, what makes you unique? The number of people who apply for jobs with no portfolio, or work examples boggles my mind. Show them you can do it, the awards you have won, the extra qualifications you have which are essential to doing the job then argue for your higher wage. If they still say no, why would you work for a place that doesn't value professionism and talent. You'll just be replaced by another cheaper monkey down the line.

    • mizzkitty on 08/09/2015 - 21:34

      I guess I have to wait to see if they offer me the job and ask what the salary is at that time bc it didn't come up in the interview.
