@chriseppstein I think to even continue the conversation without salary expectations is probably a non-starter unless you want *that* job.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

I agree.
@jayfallon. During phone screen I usually say something like "If you can't afford <salary amount> then let's not waste our time"2 replies 2 retweets 7 likes -

Only once have I had someone say my number was unreasonable and *they apologized* that they couldn't afford me.

This sets the stage very early on that you care about your salary and you're not going to be a push over. Completely changes the dynamic.

Ideally, when negotiating you simply tell them "Make me what you feel a fair offer." They should give the starting #.

Don't say yes. They're expecting you to counter, this number is lower than they're expecting to pay you.

Once you've decided the salary, now you can try to negotiate a signing bonus.

You're more likely to get a signing bonus if you're not being hired through a recruiter.

External recruiters get paid about 25% of your salary as a fee. Don't use a recruiter. Ask for 1/2 of their fee as a bonus.

@chriseppstein companies use the naivete of hires and "the way it is" to avoid a fair outcome like this.
