Most asked Interview question:
"What is your salary expectations (in range)"
Answer depending on the situation:
1. Best general answer (safe & professional)
“I’m open to a competitive offer based on the role, responsibilities, and market standards. I’m confident we can agree on a fair range.”
✔ Why it works:
Avoids underselling yourself
Shows flexibility
Keeps negotiation open
2. If they insist on a range
“Based on my skills and market research, I would expect something in the range of [X – Y], but I’m open to discussion depending on the overall package.”
✔ Tip:
Always give a range, not a fixed number
Make sure your lowest number is still acceptable to you
3. If you don’t know the market yet
“I’m still researching the market rates for this role, but I’m open to a fair and competitive offer.”
✔ Good for freshers or career switchers
Key strategies (VERY important)
Never say “any amount is fine” → looks desperate
Never give a too low number → hard to renegotiate later
Always consider total package (salary + benefits + growth)
If possible, let them mention the range first
Simple formula to remember:
Flexible + Confident + Not desperate
