Default Qualification not matched

Your programming experience is not exactly aligned with their requirements, it is unlikely they treat you at a senior level. There are many who have matched qualifications and can do the job better than you at a cheaper salary.

You can dont reply, but they will ask you in interview. you can give vague answers or a range, but they will press you for it. Even senior management get asked full details..

My advice is just state facts. Give them what they want to know but also ask them what the job worth and let HR quote you after you provide the details.

If it is a good company, they will know market value for the job.
If they try to play punk in quoting a super low salary, then my question is why r u considering if u think u r better than that ? That when the truth hurts right ? u know u may not get that salary u r asking for. Be honest with yourself. Everybody wants to earn out of the world salary but can everyone get it ?

Anyway, for those who like to think HR is a stingy department that always tries to "max" it employees by giving low salary... wake up ! ...HR is a management representation in that company.

IF management wants to give high salary, HR will give high salary.
So if u r paid low, likely management also thinks low.. but they just dont want to tell you the bad news directly.. they ask hr to do so.. ha ha

comments welcome !

since u are talent, don't waste time just ask for $4K. What is $2K+ this days. Then again, India's indian can always undercut you. You have to be mentally prepared you will not get the job!

Default Ask for more

Its just not last drawn salary, its your skills plus the impression you have left in the hiring process. An average salary for a 5+ yrs is more than S$4k. So be prepared to negotiate hard.

btw I'm an Indian and I'm not here to undercut anyone.. I know how to live with empathy for everyone.
