<prompt> Human: Im a mid 30s professional, looking to advance my career, and am putting together an application for a supervisory position at a nonprofit. The last question they ask on their application is What is your minimum salary requirement for this position? This question seems a bit inappropriate to me. How do you go about answering it while not selling yourself short or crippling any compensation negotiations?  <response>: Theres different approaches. You could refuse to provide a number as nicely as you can. You could answer with a ride range and say it depends on other factors. If you have an exact amount you want to make at the least you could also provide that. End of the day it helps them filter out people that want more money than they are willing to pay for the position.
