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. |

curryrice | 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! | |

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 ! |

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. |

Unregistered | DO NOT EVER TELL YOUR EMPLOYER YOUR SALARY. First to declare in salary negotiation loses. | |

And what advise you gave salseeker in your previous post? Please read what you wrote again. Stating a sound analogy does not make an argument sound. But its true that one can still learn a thing or two from anybody including the untalented ones. |

I'm giving advice to salseeker to _not_ remain as a programmer, but work at a higher level. This is the way to earn more. I have to add this: some architects just talk and consult their way to the top, but they actually do not have much substance. Whether you are talented or not, learn from them. A distant analogy: why be a farmer when you can get rich trading the produce? |

salseek, it all depends on the employers' budget and their requirements. Since they posted middle-level 2 year, I doubt they are willing to pay much. But of course you can still try your luck. |

Unregistered | 10k is more appropriate. other foreign talents, though mostly whites, earn that amount by doing high level designs. they call themselves architects. no programming needed. | |
