lol....The truth is desperation to land any job at all always makes job seekers to under value themselves and call any figure at all when the salary issue is raised in the recruitment process. I was also guilty of this,the desperation of wanting to land the job, not wanting to sit back at home and the start counting months after service is one of the reasons people tend to call this low salary figure. However, standard organizations don't base ur slary on the jargons u mouth as salary figure during interviews. Am a living witness, where i currently work now, I was asked for my salary expectations, and as usual i just said something that I feel is at least fair to both parties, but still the interviewers tried cutting it down , and even asked if they shouldn't bother getting back to me if i can't go lower. But God helped me answer the question intelligently. Lo and behold my salary in my offer letter was twice the figure I mentioned during the interview. Even my friend where he works now, he asked for a little over a million as salary figure, but his offer letter showed his salary to be over 2million 83 Likes 1 Share |

U didn't carry out any background research on the company before heading for that interview? Could cost you that job If you down play or over shoot on their / your range. A little background check could have done the magic! Wish you luck! 4 Likes 2 Shares |

virud: Tried to find out o.. Someone told me 60k to 80. So I took it to the middle. But the person might not be right Coz she said her friend works there, so I wasn't sure. I pleaded with hr to gimme the range but she didn't . What will you do too? 2 Likes |

Boltmeister:lol..trying to put me on the spot. Truthfully, it's an awkward situation. But the point is, if its not a start-up company, then it is very possible for you to have managed to lay your hands on that information. On what I would do.. 1 - Every industry has a somewhat general pay package for entry level, executive level and senior executive level employees ..If for any reason, you couldn't get the exact pay/salary for the industry and position you're applying for, then it will be in your best interest to have this information at the back of your hand at such. 2 - with the above information, you easily 'guess' your pay range through. 2 Likes |

Lol, that question is quite a dicey one, you won't want to ask for far too much and at the same time you won't want to ask for far below what you deserve. The best thing is to try and have an idea of what they pay for that position and say something between that range 3 Likes |

Boltmeister: I sincerely hope that your spoken English during the interview is better than what you wrote in the OP, if not, you just might have heard the last from the company that day. Cause, one has to be intelligent to understand your message ![]() 1 Like 3 Shares |

It's always good to state your own position, rather than going along with the pack. An extra 10-20 thousand won't matter if they prefer your abilities to that of the others. I wish you luck sha. Na when you go need my account number? 4 Likes |
