It is so hard to give an expected salary when you are interviewing for position at another country.
I usually stated how much I earn at the moment and asked them to pay at least what I am earning now.
My compensation is good so two things happened to me before:
1. They think my compensation is too high (happens often)
2. They are willing to pay exactly the same of what I am earning now because I TOLD them to pay minimum what I am earning now.
Despite that I did some research on Glassdoor, I never got a clear picture of the compesation of the market and cost of living.
But in my mind, I am willing to accept a wide range of compensation because I am keen on relocating for different experience but I just don't want to sell myself short.
What is a good strategy here?
Interesting that they are willing to give you the range. In my case, they always want a number. And they want a number after my research. But in my case I can accept anything from 90000-150000USD, which my salary is somewhere in the middle and that's why it put me into a difficult situation.
Not always, but sometimes they are willing to share some info (e.g., your salary is within our range, or it's at the top of our range), or sometimes they just share that they agree with that salary you should reach an agreement.
But what you need to do is to actually know how much one pays for that position. It is very unlikely that the position range is that large 90-150k. So you probably can narrow down to a smaller range.
