“What are your salary expectations?”
The most expensive question in any interview, and most people answer it with a number they hope is not embarrassing.
- Naming a figure based on what a friend earns in a different industry
- Anchoring on a national average that ignores your level entirely
- Discovering after signing that the band topped out ₱20k higher
- No language for justifying a number beyond “I think I’m worth it”
- A range for your role, at your level, in your industry and city
- The band above yours, so you know what the next move is worth
- In-demand skills you hold, quantified as a premium
- A number you can defend with evidence instead of hope
Three steps to a defensible number
Preparation is the entire difference between negotiating and accepting.
Filter to your situation
Set role, experience level, employment type, and industry so you're reading your market rather than a national average.
Find your band, not the average
Locate the level range matching your scope today — and note the band above it as the target for your next move.
Cite the premiums you hold
Name the in-demand skills you already have. They're the cleanest justification for sitting at the top of a band.
Averages lose negotiations. Ranges win them.
The useful question is never “what does this role pay?” — it's “what does this role pay someone with my scope, in my city, with my skills?”
The highest-leverage numbers on the page
Specific skills reliably lift pay for a role, and one of them is often worth more than a year of general experience. Knowing which ones you already hold — and which are worth learning next — changes both your ask and your study plan.
- Premium percentages attached to named skills
- See which ones you already have and can cite today
- Feeds your skill gap plan when you don't have them yet
One premium skill often beats a year of general experience.
The same job pays three different salaries
Metro Manila, provincial, and remote-first roles are effectively separate markets. Comparing them side by side is how you decide whether relocating, or going remote, is actually worth it.
- City-level ranges across the Philippines
- Remote-first roles shown as their own market
- Employer-type ranges: enterprise, startup, and offshore
Remote-first roles are their own market.
Everything you can slice the data by
Because a number without context is just a rumour.
Employer type changes everything
The same title pays very differently at an enterprise, a product startup, and an offshore-remote employer. Know which market you're actually interviewing in.
Experience bands
Entry, mid, and senior ranges shown separately, with your level highlighted so the comparison is immediate.
Year-on-year movement
Whether your field is climbing or flattening — useful context for timing a move or a raise conversation.
City comparisons
Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, and remote — because cost of living and pay don't move together.
Demand signal
How hot the role is right now, alongside open-role volume. Leverage is a function of demand.

Frequently asked questions
How should I use these numbers in a negotiation?
Anchor on the range for your role at your level, not the headline average — then justify where you sit in that band with the scope and results you can evidence.
Can I compare different roles and levels?
Yes. Filter by role, experience level, employment type, industry, and country, and compare the level bands side by side to see what the next promotion is actually worth.
What are skill premiums?
The specific skills that reliably lift pay for a role. They are the highest-leverage thing on the page — one of them is often worth more than a year of general experience.
Never guess your worth again
Benchmark your role, your level, and your city before the next salary conversation.
