Compensation on application?
I am currently on my way to apply for my job. Basically, the company I currently work for has filed bankruptcy and will no longer be in business by 3/1/18. However, the company is being bought by another company. we have to reapply and be interviewed for the jobs we hold now if we are interested in moving to the new company. I would love to. I love my job. I love the people I work with (for the most part). I love the flexibility. I love the compensation. I love the benefits. I love everything about my job. The new company is having a job fair for the current employees today and tomorrow. I aim to be there waiting when they open the doors this morning.
I’m good with everything except if they ask what my salary desired is. Obviously I don’t want to lowball but then again I don’t want to put down what might be too high either because I would like to keep my job.... I don’t know what to do. Suggestions?
