I have an interview coming up for a role similar to what I do now, at the same level. I am anticipating that they may ask me what my salary expectations are.
My current employer will soon be moving locations, meaning that if I stayed in my current role I would be 5 minutes walk from work, instead of 30 mins drive which it what it is currently. Potential employer is located 40 mins drive from where I live.
Would I be unreasonable to ask for a slight pay rise vs what I get now, on the basis that if I stayed in my current role I'd have no commuting costs? Or would this be cheeky given my current work haven't even moved yet? I get a reasonably good salary in my current role so don't want to appear too greedy, but on the other hand I don't really want to end up worse off if I'm offered the role.
If it makes any difference, both my current role and the one I'm applying for provide a company car allowance which is fixed per month (regardless of how many miles I drive). I've been in my current role for 2 years.
Thanks
