Search the average amount people with your skills and experience are earning in your field. Then, add some amount to it. The added amount is based on your discretion of how comfortable the total salary will be for you. 12 Likes |

Don't make any estimate for this particular question. Just go straight to the point. Say something highest based on your experience. If you price yourself low, that is what they will pay you. 1 Like |

The lowest you can go in terms of salary is the least of the average salary you can accept after estimating your total skill worth. Most often than not, the candidate or applicants always do push back system to tackle such question during interview. That's you stylishly push back the question to the interviewer....that will make you relax and be ready to negotiate higher if not UpTo your expectation but if you had said okay....this is the amount am worth and expecting to be paid ... It's like caging yourself cos there's probability that you could mention a lower amount and definitely the interviewer will take that advantage quickly to deal badly with you... Let them always bell the cats while you stay on the side of negotiation.... 2 Likes |

1 million for me o This question is a trap and unethical A good organisation should have a salary structure that is available for anyone that needs to know. However, you should put you answer in a range. Let's 400k to 1 million 4 Likes |

You will say that your goal is to impact positively on the company and see it grow, that the company is a reputable company, that it salary will be in acceptable range for you. That is when you are scared of losing the position but if you donβt care then you quote a price. 2 Likes |

Give a wide range. Or tell them you would like to be paid they amount they pay for the role. Most important is, make sure it's better than your previous salary. 2 Likes |

Gbadugbakun: The company already knows the maximum of what they want to pay, you should know the average of amount of the position you are seeking , add like 15-30% extra to that average amount and tell them. |

Pesin wey wan employ u know the amount wey the position dey attract...so, the question na whining No go jam talk sey transport don cost, bag of rice don cost o. Don't just give a specific amount. Ur reply should be... Based on my research, I anticipate the salary range for this position to be between #X and #Y. Given the value I intend to bring to the organization, I believe my compensation should fall within this range.. Make sure u are comfortable with the range wey u wan give If they are offering below the range, I take God beg u, no reason them sey where u dey come from far o Just reason them like diz I appreciate the offer, but the salary is below my expected range. Given the skills and experience I bring, I believe my contributions will significantly impact the organization. Could we discuss potential adjustments? Or Thank you for the offer. Unfortunately, the salary is below my minimum requirements. I appreciate the opportunity, but I'll need to explore other options that better align with my value U sef no small nah, nothing bad in saying NO, If Dem price you anyhow 7 Likes 1 Share |

As you can see from my CV that I have 15 years of industry experience ranging across different developments and generations, I will not welcome anything below Bleep per month, and a possibility to review after 6 month probation. What you bringing the table will determine your response. No generic answer. 1 Like |
