Selecting a Target Salary

October 29th, 2009

Selecting the right target salary can be a make or break decision when it comes to applying for your next job. Why? Well because the danger is that overpricing yourself will price you out of a job and give the impression that you are either over skilled or overly demanding. And on the other hand underpricing yourself can mean you don’t end up with the salary that you’re worth or worse yet not even get the job because you are perceived to be too junior.
