I'm applying for a PM position, what do I put for a salary range? |
I had a phone interview with a fortune 500 company for a Project Manager position in the IT industry. When asked for my salary requirements I said 50K a year minimum. I started explaining that I would be willing to negotiate depending on benefits and they stated 50k (with benefits) was below what the position was paying. What should I put on my application for a salary range? It depends on where you live too. If you live in New York City, DC, Chicago, LA, etc. (think big cities) then you definitely want to ask for at least 70K. It's always better to ask for more than you think your worth because a) if they think its too high but they want to hire you they'll offer less and negotiate and b) a lot of times you are worth more than you think. PM jobs are usually high paying jobs too. Below what they are paying - heck add 20% (55 - 65 or something). Of course it would be nice to know the range, you can search online and try salary.com but if that doesn't work just go with 20% more or so, I guess. you should have asked what they were offering. use salary.com they have a wizard that calculates salary by area and position. good luck. salary.com negotiable |
