Salary negotiation - Need quick response please
I have an interview coming up with a boutique this afternoon, and I have a quick question: How do I go about discussing salary? I almost wouldn't even call this an interview. It's a done deal and they want me to work for them. However, it's kinda on a trial basis. If work keeps up, or if I prove to be a good/hard worker, it will become a permanent position. With all that being said, I can't move to this city if I don't get paid for this job/internship. Do I just hope it comes up, do I bring it up early before we discuss my day to day responsibilities, or do I wait until the end for the "interview"? Sorry for the atrocious grammar, but I'm pressed for time.

They need to be (and they owe it to you) to be VERY specific about this or the "trial period" will no doubt stretch into your entire time at the boutique. "Internships" are not open ended. How long will the trial period last? I would approach this in the same way that it is done at most banks. There is an internship of finite length and then you are either hired or not hired. Just as it is inappropriate to ask salary questions about full time during an internship, it's probably inappropriate now. That said, an open ended trial period is not something you should be willing to do. They need to give you a date that they will make a decision.
Also, how many people work for them? What is their niche? Have these guys actually done any deals? Good possibility is that they haven't.

Yeah, it seems like the boutique is quite disorganized.. its probably not an on-going SA program like the BBs.. Definitely ask them if they have definite date (especailly since its unpaid).
