I am a bit confused by not talking about the salary right away, I have seen advice like yours and in this article about not giving the number fisrt but the opposite in other articles saying to leverage the anchoring bias by giving a high number first. That would help raising the following offers. Both approaches seem to make sense so I am not sure what to choose.

- Pooge 1y agoI think it's fair to give it first if you're a Senior engineer and are able to receive offers quickly. If you were looking for a $150k salary, you could drop an extreme anchor at $200k and they might even give you $180k.
