True enough. Yes, I would expect them to move towards my expectation once they got to know me better and once they see that I might fit into the team quite nice. At least I believe it more likely than weeding me out based on numbers in the very first call. I too don’t have enough experience to know whether this is realistic. I just know that my current employer would lean into that way of thinking.
But, it seems that many companies can still afford to weed out candidates by numbers, at least here in Germany. So, I just have to do me as long as I have a secure position and otherwise, otherwise.

Not every company posts salary up front, so there is at least that situation.

Or the salary range is $40k - $80k, which in my experience, means $40k.

If salary range says 40 to 80 and they offer 40, counter with 100.
Don’t settle for less than 80 assuming your credentials fit the position.
Have them tell you no. Don’t decide it based on intuition.
If they stay at 40 tell them you’ll continue to look for employment that values your work where you think it should be valued, wish them well, and walk.

Glassdoor is usually sufficient to find the info you need unless it’s a startup.
