April 27, 20179 yr If you were applying for a new job, and they (the prospective employer) asked you to submit your salary requirements, what would you put? a.) The bare minimum you'd need, based upon your existing financial situation b.) A modest increase over your minimum c.) A much higher amount (perhaps closer to what you feel you deserve) Do you run the risk of pricing yourself out of the market...or are you showing that you are worth it, by putting a higher amount?
April 27, 20179 yr C aim high. They may come down a little but it's still probably higher than option B.
April 27, 20179 yr Depends on your current situation. Out of work, I'd try to price my self right. Job That is not horrible, but just ok, you look for a little bump. Love your job, but see an opportunity you ask for a big raise. I think the situation influences the ask.
April 27, 20179 yr Author Depends on your current situation. Out of work, I'd try to price my self right. Job That is not horrible, but just ok, you look for a little bump. Love your job, but see an opportunity you ask for a big raise. I think the situation influences the ask. Now that's the criteria I'd use to determine whether or not to take a job. In other words, is it worth it? However, this situation you're basically putting in a "bid" (for lack of a better word) to try to get the job. It's going to be one of the determining factors that they use to determine whether or not to hire you. Obviously if resumes are drastically different, that will most likely be the deciding factor. But if all is basically equal, wouldn't you hire someone who says they'll do it for $30,000 over someone who says $40,000?

If I was willing to pay $50K I might take the guy that said he was worth $40K? It's cat and mouse game for sure.
April 27, 20179 yr Favorite line I ever heard on the value on an employee. I guy left a job for more money. His current company countered with the same amount. The guy said the only reason I'm worth that much to you today is because I'm leaving. If I was really worth that much to you, you should have been paying that already!
April 27, 20179 yr Well, @Lawnboy13 would say he's priceless. Me...I's say he's worthless. In the end the same amount of money (0$) will have changed hands.:lol2:
April 28, 20179 yr 3 years and only missed one day that is priceless at my work. 22 years and only 5 days.
