I recently got laid off and my last day is coming up so I've been frantically applying to places in my field.
I had a phone interview with a large tech company here that I applied to, even though I didn't feel like i had a chance since tech companies here generally have crazy high expectations for entry level roles.
At the end of the interview he asked me what salary expectations were for this role. I turned this question around on him and asked "what is the typical salary range for someone in this role?"
To which he responded to me with $70 - $80K depending on experience.
Mind you, I currently make $50K, and have been expecting (or should i say hoping) to finding a role that pays between $50 - $55K. If i had revealed that to him, the salary range for this job would most likely been a lot lower had i told him.
Granted, this was only an initial phone screening, (which went really well and im expecting to hear back from them soon), so nothing is set in stone yet.
But either way, i think this is a good reminder for everyone that you should never reveal you current salary (illegal in some places) or salary exceptions upfront, because you never know what they may offer, and they might use your expectations to low ball you.
Hoping I make it to the second round of interviews - wish me luck!
