Okay lang ba na sinasabi ko na agad salary range na gusto ko bago mag initial interview?
An HR recruiter reached out to me for a role, and before proceeding with the interview, I politely informed them about my expected salary range to make sure we were aligned early on.
Part of me feels like it was a smart move because it saves both sides time if the budget doesn’t match. But another part of me wonders if I may have hurt my chances by bringing up salary too early in the process.
For context, I didn’t demand anything aggressively. I just professionally mentioned my expected range and said I’d be happy to proceed if it aligns with the role’s budget.
Have any of you done this before? Did it help or backfire?
PS - nakakailang interview na kasi ako na below yung range sa current kong sahod that’s why I ended up doing the upront move 😩
Thankiiee!
