Help!! I’m about to meet with a headhunter about a job they approached me about. My experience is a great fit and I have loads of ideas and questions about it. Thought I was perfect for it until I found out the salary (upper end is 40% more than my current salary) and immediately started second guessing myself about being good enough. Rationally, I am ready for a challenge and more than capable,
my question is, how do I play the salary question? If I tell them my true salary and package will they write me off for the role? In the brief conversation so far, I tried to talk about my salary expectations but know they are going to want to pin me down on current package.
am chronically bad at talking about and negotiating this stuff. Any advice or moral support welcome!
