I'm in the job search process in the nonprofit field and trying to ask for what I'm actually worth rather than grabbing whatever they'll take me (that's a journey in itself).
On an application, I asked for $75k, which is $10k over what I'm making now. Potential employer responded within 2 days to say “We'd like to have a brief video chat, but before we schedule that, the salary range is $45k-$55k, are you still interested?”
I'm not sure if I am yet – there would be advantages to this job like WFH and a lot less stress, gonna chat with the wife about it tonight – but I was so impressed that they were willing to talk salary up front and give me actual dollar amounts before any more time was spent on either side.
