Job interview(permie) - Bad if they don't ask for your salary expectations ?

[xenopus]

Had my First round of interviews for a permie role 2 days ago and still awaiting outcome.

Is it a bad omen if the interviewer (this chap is one of the managers, but not the department head) doesn't ask you for your ££ expectations during your first round of interviews ? Am I just over analyzing things ? LOL


cheers guys

Not if there to be further interviews.

Certainly not if there is an agency involved. Leaving salary negotiations to the agent makes it far more simple for all involved.

If there is no agency involved, I would concentrate all efforts on other roles - def not a good sign! Def not end of the world either.

Not the right thing to do - as per previous post, discuss all salary requirements via the agent - that way you can play harder ball without harming any potential relationships before starting the role

No agencies here. Applied straight to HR.

And the manager who interviewed me seemed to be in a hurry (new software release due end of this week apprently!)

Oh well ! Not gonna get my hopes up for this one.

This is a contractor's forum, just in case you hadn't noticed...

... but there is a lot of interest from contractors who are thinking of going permie, so I think this kind of question is allowed.

I had a permie interview a while ago, and salary wasn't mentioned because it was all done through the HR department, it would have been discussed when the job was being offered - not that I got it, been contracting too long and they didn't think I would like it.
