Why do these people keep dreming up redicilous plans ? Obviously Tony Blair wants to speed up the Brexit , hence his support for the Brexit campaign . <| sep |> Interesting . The longest win streak either team has had is 8 . It ' s your time to show yourself , beavers . <| sep |> A vacuum is a good idea . My current roommate has one , but in August , it will be just me and my SO ! Adult supplies lol thank you ! <| sep |> How sweet ! <| sep |> Probably because they ' d be overly precious about pizza or soda . <| sep |> I ' m 90 % certain he ' ll be predictably out of his depth but the issue is not selecting Buttler for this test but the fact he ' s on the tour in the first place . <| sep |> But what if it increased your 2 . 0 ? <| sep |> The refusal to state a salarywage early in a negotiation is not strange by itself they need to confirm that they are interested in hiring you before that becomes relevant to the discussion . Once they have qualified you as a definite candidate , they will start asking questions about your wage history andor what your salary requirements are for the open position . You should do your own research so you have a salary range for this position in general adjusted for the industry and location cost of living . Also , try to get them to state a number first , if possible the general rule in negotiations is he who gives a number first , loses . In the past , I ' ve said something along the lines of , I see you put a lot of thought into creating this position . You ' ve must have thought about a salary range for it what is that range ? If that is too confrontational for your style , you can always state a range based on your research , adjusted for the responsibilities of this particular position , your own requirements , and locationindustry . The idea is that you want their offer to be indexed to the particular jobrole , not your wage history . As an extreme example to illustrate the point , let ' s say you were qualified for and applied for a job at NASA as a propulsion engineer , but you happened to be working a minimum wage job at the time you applied . Would it be reasonable for them to offer you a 20 % increase for the new role , which is night day in its responsibilities and skills required as compared to your current position ? No , of course not . Yet many employers try to do a less extreme version of this in order to get you for the cheapest price possible it shouldn ' t be something that you take personally in general , they are simply trying to get the best possible deal for the business just as you are trying to get the best deal for yourself . Back to your current dilemma if they still haven ' t clearly outlined the roles and responsibilities by the time compensation is discussed , you should say something like , before we discuss any specific numbers , I ' d like to better understand the responsibilities of this position . Now you ' ve avoided the compensation discussion and directed the discussion to expand on the details of the position as they have designed it . A good idea is to obtain a job description of comparable roles in the industry and use it as a framework for discussing the particulars of their position . If they are still resistant to giving specifics of the roles and responsibilities , you should see it as a major red flag . They can ' t reasonably expect you to determine your salary requirements without an opportunity to understand exactly what would be expected of you . Furthermore , should you accept the position , it is an open door for them to scope creep the rolesresponsibilities on you , effectively reducing your compensation for the value they receive . Also , are you applying for this position internally ? I ' m trying to understand why there wasn ' t a job posting of some kind which gave a general outline of the position ?
