<prompt> Human: Hi personal finance,I am currently working for a consulting company where I was doing a project for a customer. The customer is world leading in their field and decided to recruit me after they saw my work.Long story short:The job they offer is amazing, top management within 2-3 years with this and that.However, after discussing expectations before Christmas I recently replied the CEO to let him know I was going to be able to move abroad if we could agree on terms and requested a written offer.Now the CEO wants me to send in a CV along with expected annual salary because thats HR rules.I find this somewhat unprofessional - I very much expect an offer when approached like this, before mentioning a number. This is also very hard due to the career jump from my current position to the new one - at a very low age no reference points in terms of salary, plus its not even in my countryAny suggestions are very much appreciated.Assistant: I dont understand the problem? Just tell them what salary you want. Its common practice for them to ask you to start the negotiations. Ive had scenarios where theyve countered lower and ive also had scenarios where theyve offered more.Human: The new job comes with new tasks with much much greater responsibilities. However, I am still quite young below 30 with only few years experience. There is no job title I can look for to get more input regarding salaries. This means that the salary range could potentially differ greatly. I am simply not sure of my market value. I had an hour long discussion with a negotiator which stated the same.His suggestion was to talk to the companys HR to get some reference points - but Im sceptical. Of course I do not want to request too high either.  <response>: Im not sure I understand your concerns though. Just do some research and figure out what a job of your responsibility would be called.Next, go to glassdoor.com or payscale.com and finding out what other people are earning at that title. To double check this number, search for job openings in other companies to make sure the expectations map to what you would be doing.Finally, provide the salary. Assuming youre moving from the US to a country with lower COL, provide expectations in USD. If its a higher COL, provide expected salary in local currency.Also dont forget to ask for 3 weeks paid vacation to start, health benefits, etc as these are pretty standard outside the US
