When applying for a job, you\u2019re likely to encounter this question at any point during the application process \u2013 \u201cWhat are your salary expectations?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many things to consider when it comes to discussing pay. And the situation is made even more complex depending on the context. In this guide, we\u2019ll break these details down to help you answer salary expectations related questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should You Or Shouldn\u2019t You Disclose Your Salary Expectations?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a rule of thumb, you should never disclose your salary expectations because more often than not, candidates who don\u2019t disclose their salary expectations wind up getting a better offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there are legitimate reasons why employers would ask about your salary expectations. They can be checking to see if they can afford to hire you or not; they can be checking your seniority level or experience based on your asking rate; or they can be gauging how you see yourself based on asking price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For practical reasons, it also helps you if you disclose your salary expectations \u2013 you can tell whether the employer can meet your salary expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why you should proceed with caution and always keep these things in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
