Answering this question is much easier in person, writes Dr Kirstin Ferguson.
I am searching for a new role and mCan I ask the recruiter or employer to state what’s on offer first?
I worry asking directly may shut down the discussion before it can evolve, likewise, if I state my current package, and it cannot be matched, I worry I won’t be considered.If you are speaking to a real person and you are asked about your salary expectation I would say something like, “Thanks for asking, since I am excited to learn more about the role and I am keen to make sure we are aligned on salary too.
Eventually, you will need to be clear on the minimum salary you have in mind, but when you give them that idea you can also explain salary is not the most important factor for you. Reassure them you don’t want to be excluded from the process on that front and would prefer the opportunity to negotiate what will work best for everyone.
I am so happy you can reframe the redundancy to something which, even as difficult as it must have been, has given you the freedom to try something that will be better for your mental health and wellbeing. It sounds like you have so many options it is difficult to narrow them down. I love your idea to focus on helping others, which can be done in many ways.
