I was invited to an interview which was held yesterday in their headquarter office. I thank God all went well not untill I was asked how much I think the company can pay me? But my response was 50k but am afraid if I have bleeped up for saying that or is it appropriate or not. I want my dear nairalanders in the house to please advice me on the implication of this pay level to ur success in getting ur desired job

When next u are asked that kind of question,ensure u avoid stating an amount. You could say, "I believe that a reputable company like urs can pay me a fairly reasonable and motivating amount, which will not affect their budgeted profit". Leave the interviewer to struggle with the meaning.
Always make ur responses as short as possible

Read properly before you comment. That is a annual package and not monthly. You will be shocked to even find out some companies even pay almost that annual amt monthly. Well.....really don't fancy e-arguments so I guess am done with this convo.

I concur! But in a multinational coy , employees on same level and grade may have differences in their take home pay which could be due to your CV and what you have to offer the company but as you said there is always a baseline amount for each position.

MinCeteris:
You have not done anything wrong my dear.
Most organization have their established salary structure, it does not mean that any amount you quote during interview will be paid as quoted (it is still open for negotiation). If you quote higher than amount earmarked for that position and the company find you suitable and want to engage you, they will call you for further negotiation. But if you quote lower and they find you suitable, some companies will either pay you what is earmarked for that position or start you with their entry point salary. Just pray they find you suitable for the position.
