However, it's best to avoid mentioning them unless necessary.Be prepared to address common objections from employers, such as "this is already a very competitive offer" or "we have a strict salary range."If you're applying for a job that requires you to enter your desired salary, you can enter zeros or write "competitive with the market average."https://moveupcareers.com/moveupmax https://podcasts.apple.com/me/podcast/moveup-job-interviews-negotiation-promotions-offers/id1538223546https://moveupcareers.com/survey
