Salary Question by Recruiters
I keep getting asked salary questions by recruiters. Is this normal? It always makes me feel weird and refusing makes it seem like I have something to hide.
I am in a London bank. Does anyone have any way to navigate this?
Be wary of sharing to internal as they look to minimise costs, but sharing to external recruiters is generally okay as they want to make sure you’re in the right range whilst also maximising their fees
Thanks a lot. I am referring specifically to external. So it’s fine to give the number?
The thing is, I also don’t want to include my bonus as I got fucked pretty bad and don’t want it to be an anchor for my next place. Do you have any tips on how to approach this?
Not had to deal with it personally but two things spring to mind, firstly, don’t lie or try to misrepresent/inflate - there was a thread a few weeks/months back and it never ends well.
I wouldn’t expect a recruiter to ask why it is what it is, but just be cautious of trying to spin it too much, you never know if they have spoken to other candidates from your current place/group.
