@patio11's guide on negotiating you're doing a disservice to you and all your friends/families/etc's futures It's probably the most valuable 7000 words you'll ever read https://www.kalzumeus.com/2012/01/23/salary-negotiation/ …6 replies 121 retweets 997 likesShow this thread -
I have somewhat ambiguous feelings about the "don't mention your salary early" bit once a bit further into ones career. Without an early filter it's easy to waste a lot of time from the prospective *employee* side, just to figure out that expectations mismatch too widely.

Replying to @AndresFreundTec @patio11
I think you should go in with set level expectations but fungible-with-that comp expectations. e.g "I'm only interested in interviewing for senior/L5 roles" IMO, your point is moot at FAANG, since their range is 100k up to 7+ figures

If you establish you're interested in L5 comp, they can either: 1) Downlevel you to L5, which is okay since one of your interviewers likely won't and you can negotiate -2) Level you there but not on comp target, at which point see point 1

I come from the angle that actually going through interviewing is a pretty significant energy investment from my side, and that I don't want to realize that expectations were too widely out of sync from the start deeper into the process. Happened a couple times in my past.

Including at big names (one of which I am at these days). Probably more likely after having worked solely at smaller companies, in different countries. Reasonably well compensated at that point - but on average large companies just offer more when coming from a large company.
