<prompt> Human: Hello. Hopefully this is the right sub for this. But pretty much as the title states. Ive recently interviewed for a couple positions and around the end of the interview theyll ask what I want to be compensated annually. What would be the best route to go about this question?As I have another interview coming up. Edit: should note that this is an entry level engineering role. However I have previous experience in engineering.  <response>: Dodge the question as much as possible until you have an offer1. If you are ever faced with a computer system or a form i.e. not a person that you can talk to, put in something that is obviously a placeholder, like 0 or 999,999.Theres a brilliant writeup about salary negotiation here that explains how and why to do this - see the Never Give a Number section for more:1 Unless this interview is actually a pre-screening with a third-party headhunting firm - in that case, be open about how much you want and feel free to say a number first.
