Never answer salary expectation questions first: the counter-script for HR talks
nikola_mr64990 · x · 2026-09-23
A viral thread on salary negotiation: don't quote a number before understanding the role, workload and market. Counter with asking for the budgeted range, use scripts to deflect previous-salary anchoring, and only give a defensible range when pressed. The thread also lists why HR asks — budget fit, affordability screening, self-worth assessment, anchoring, and trying to hire at the low end.
