If you asked for a salary of £75k

[DelilahDingleberry]

If you asked for a salary of £75k and you were told that it “won’t be exactly what was proposed but it wouldn’t be a million miles away”, how much would you expect to be offered?

Guessing here... but just over £70, with opportunity to bring in new business bonus on a % of the value.

I'd say they're trying their luck with less but could be prepared to pay. Stick it out if you're confident what you're asking for is a reasonable salary for the job/your experience etc

Decent enough salary, I'd expect if I was the right person for the job, then the advertised salary. If they didn't offer that then I wouldn't be interested.

70k +

How much are you currently on and does the employer know?

Does it matter? It's a shit load more than most people. Posts like this piss me off.

Yes it does bloody matter.
Should OP accept less than going rate just because some people are on min wage?
Pure jealousy

I'd be thinking 70k based on that... was the role advertised as 75k and is that the market rate?

I would think £72k is not a million miles.away.

Anything starting with a 6 would be disappointing for me

Cavani. He's fabulous. Dh has rated him for years , years ago and wished he'd gone to Spurs years ago.

Sorry. Wrong thread.
£70k

I asked for £75K in a recruitment process recently.

They offered £71K.

I turned the job down.

Laughing at the suggestions of 60.
No man would accept that!
Shocking.

You should never disclose your current salary. No obligation to do so.

£70k+

However my experience is that it's more likely to be nearer £65k. With some spiel/bollocks about how benefits make up for it or there is opportunity to progress.

60 up

And ask them if they publish their gender pay gap.

“70k, and I'd settle on 75k like a man would.

This. But goodness me I’d like to know how to pull that off in RL.”

You pull it off by refusing their offer and standing your ground. They’ll either find a bit more in the kitty, if they want you, or not. Or, you counter offer and indicate you’ll settle for $72.5k. It’s quite an empowering feeling rejecting a job offer based on salary.

I'd be expecting an offer of around 72k if someone said 'not a million miles away' from 75k.

But I wouldn't accept it.

One of the reasons the gender pay gap exists is because women tend to be more reluctant to enter into salary negotiations than men. If we accept less money, we get offered less money, and so the cycle continues. The more women who know their worth, ask for what they're worth, and stand their ground until they get it, the better for all of us.

If you want 75k, and can justify 75k, then refuse to entertain any discussion of anything less. Why should you? And if a company really wants to lose an excellent candidate over a couple of grand, then they're not the sort of company I'd want to work for.

Honestly, if I were you, I'd go back to them and say you consider 75k to be the appropriate salary for the role due to the following reasons (i.e. your skills, experience etc.) As such you won't be willing to renegotiate and it's either 75k or you'll be going elsewhere. If they really want you, they'll find the extra couple of thousand.

60k plus

High sixties, low seventies.

As an aside, DH has been negotiating salaries recently. He currently earns ever so slightly less than me and has a secured an offer which would see him earning £40k more than me. It's been an eye opening experience, and does make me wonder how much this arrogance confidence explains part of the gender pay gap.

70

I'd imagine maybe 72-73. 70 doesn't seem close enough for that phrase, £5K is still a lot.
