When asked during the interview, how to respond to the expected salary? This article shares 3 steps to teach you how to talk about better salary during the interview, including how to confirm the minimum salary, investigate market conditions, understand the company's welfare system and other strategies to help you get a satisfactory salary during the job search process.
As the end of the year approaches, many people begin to hesitate to change jobs or change jobs, the main reason is often to get better treatment. Whether you can successfully negotiate an ideal salary during the interview directly affects whether to make a decision to change jobs. Recently, a netizen shared the questions he encountered during an interview with an electronics company as a newly graduated liberal arts student. When asked about 'expected salary', because he was a non-undergraduate major and had no experience, he was worried that he would be eliminated if he was too high, so he asked netizens for advice.
After the article was exposed, many netizens expressed their opinions. Some people believe that 'the offer should be higher than expected salary because the company will bargain'; some netizens suggest 'starting from the salary on the recruitment website', while most people believe that 'there must be at least 1.2 to 1.5 times more than the original salary to have the value of job change. If it can be discussed twice, it is more ideal', and encouraged the netizen to 'take the 2 times directly'. So, when asked about the expected salary during the interview, how much is the reasonable one? The following are 3 steps to help job seekers be more confident in salary negotiations and successfully strive for an ideal salary.
1. Confirm your acceptable minimum salary
Before the interview, you must first confirm the minimum salary you can accept. For example, if your expected salary is 25K per month, then when the company provides a salary below 25K, it should be decisively excluded. It should be noted that if the company's monthly salary is less than 25K, but the annual salary exceeds 25K after totaling, or the company has a higher salary adjustment range, it can also be considered in the scope of consideration.
Clarifying your minimum salary bottom line before the interview and resolutely rejecting salary below this standard during salary negotiations can avoid the idea of dissatisfaction with work or changing jobs again due to low salary in the later stage.
2. Collect information and investigate market conditions before the interview
Understanding the market salary market is the key to salary negotiations. Before the interview, you should always pay attention to the industry's salary level and salary adjustment situation as a reference for salary bargaining. Many recruitment websites and headhunter companies regularly publish salary data for various industries and vocational categories, which can be used as a reference.
In addition, the industry environment has a great impact on salary. For example, if there is a labor shortage in some industries, the salary level of related positions may be relatively high. In some popular areas or high-demand jobs, salaries will usually rise. Therefore, when discussing salary, job seekers can put forward reasonable salary requirements based on the industry, position and market conditions they have applied for.
A more effective way is to directly ask seniors in the industry, especially seniors, seniors or relatives and friends who have worked in the field for many years. By understanding their salary and interview experience, we can provide ourselves with practical reference and bargaining chips for salary negotiations.

3. Ask about the company's salary and welfare system
In addition to fixed salary, a comprehensive understanding of salary and benefits is also crucial. During the interview, in addition to asking about basic salary, you should also further understand the year-end bonus, dividends, allowances, salary adjustment system and other benefits provided by the company. These factors can be converted into actual salary, which will help you evaluate annual salary and benefits more comprehensively.
Many small companies do not clearly list salary and benefits details on job advertisements or official websites, so asking the company directly during the interview whether there are related benefits can help you understand salary and benefits more clearly and provide more strong support for salary negotiations.
Ultimately, when the interviewer asks for expected salary, it is best to provide a salary range rather than a clear single number. You can set your acceptable minimum salary as the lower limit of the range, and the upper limit of the range is slightly higher than the minimum salary. This will not only give the interview company a certain degree of flexibility when evaluating salary, but will not make you miss potential salary opportunities.
During negotiations, there is no need to lower your expected salary due to fear of being rejected. The relationship between employers and job seekers is equal. As long as you have the ability and experience to match the position, you should dare to fight for better salary for yourself.
If you are not sure about your stress resistance during the interview, you can use the online test provided by PsycTest Quiz's official website to test your stress resistance index to help you gain more confidence and reduce tension during salary negotiations.
Summarize
Finally, PsycTest Quiz suggests that when asked about “expected salary” during an interview, expressing your expectations numbers bravely not only helps to show your confidence, but also ensures that you get the salary you deserve. If the other party raises reasons such as 'no relevant work experience' to lower the price, do not compromise easily and stick to your reasonable salary requirements. I wish every job seeker can successfully change jobs after the New Year and talk about his ideal salary!
