'If job interviewers can’t afford to pay the expected salary candidates ask, they should courteously explain their rationales for it.' — Teo Kueh Liang, Letter to the Editor

In most circumstances, people will ask for a higher salary because financial incentives are vital in switching or applying for a new job.

Of course, when you dare to ask for higher salaries for the job you apply for, you must have prepared yourself for a robust rationale for substantiating your position.Relatively, the interviewer should also be mentally prepared and keep calm in their posture when faced with such requests. Anyway, it is not civilised, modest and appropriate for interviewers to criticise or mock any potential candidates who ask for higher salaries, as long as they can provide reasons to substantiate their claims.

If the corporate interviewers can’t afford to pay or match the expected salary the candidate asks, they should courteously explain their rationales or views for it.Amidst the increasingly high cost of living, it is natural for job seekers to ask for higher salaries to offset their living expenses and expand their household income.
