is it wrong to ask about the starting salary during an interview?

I read an article where someone said it is wrong for a potential employee to ask about the salary during an interview, personally i feel this is a normal question an employee should ask to know what he or she is going into. What is your take on this?

    I don’t think it is a bad idea to ask about your salary but you should be tactful when asking, Not it not be like that’s your only interest. Know when to ask that’s appropriate and how to even ask it

    I will think it’s better to discuss salary when you are sure of employment. So you should receive a job offer first before asking

    You can go ahead when the interviewer brings It’s up. it would be right at this time.

    It’s generally not wrong to ask about the starting salary for a position during a job interview, but there is some nuance in how and when to broach the topic. Here are a few tips:

    – Don’t ask about salary in your very first conversation. Build rapport in the early screening calls before bringing up compensation.

    – Wait until the interviewer asks if you have any questions before inquiring about salary range. Don’t lead with it as one of your first questions.

    – Frame the question from the perspective of whether the role is in line with your expectations. For example, “Based on my experience and skills, I’m targeting a salary in the range of $X to $Y for this type of position. Does that align with the budget for this role?”

    – Be prepared to discuss your salary requirements and expectations, not just ask about the range. Bring up your value, market research, and benchmarks to support your desired pay.

    – If the interviewer deflects the salary question, don’t push aggressively or issue an ultimatum. You can note that compensation is an important consideration for you as you assess the opportunity.

    -Salary matters, but don’t let it become a sole, deal-breaking factor. Weigh the overall job fit, growth potential, and benefits in your decision too.

    With the right approach, asking about salary shouldn’t be taboo. It’s a valid question as long as you frame it positively and aim for an open, mutually beneficial dialogue on pay expectations.

    I don't even think there's any need to ask at all, most employers will let you know what the starting salary is and then you decide if you can work with it or not, overall I think it's a good strategy if you are not told, then you should ask.

    I don’t even think there’s any need to ask at all, most employers will let you know what the starting salary is and then you decide if you can work with it or not, overall I think it’s a good strategy if you are not told, then you should ask.

    So that you can measure and see if it’s something you can work with or not, during the interview you’ll be told everything regarding the work you’ll be doing and you’ll be given the salary figure.

    It’s not wrong to ask about the starting salary during an interview, but timing and approach matter. Bringing it up too early can make it seem like money is your only concern, but asking politely when the topic naturally comes up or when the employer asks if you have questions is perfectly normal. Knowing the salary helps you make an informed decision, so it’s reasonable to clarify without making it the focus of the conversation.

    For my own opinion I think It’s not necessarily wrong to ask about the starting salary during an interview, but it’s often more effective to wait until later in the hiring process, such as during a second interview or when an offer is extended. This allows you to demonstrate your value first and negotiate from a stronger position.
    It’s generally better to focus on showcasing your skills, experience, and enthusiasm for the role first. Once the employer has a clearer picture of your fit for the position, you can negotiate more effectively. However, if the employer brings up salary expectations first, it’s appropriate to respond honestly and professionally.

    Personally, it is not bad to ask about your salary but you should be tactful when asking, know when to and how to ask. Generally, it’s better to discuss salary expectations after you’ve received a job offer or when the interviewer brings up the topic. This allows you to evaluate the entire compensation package and negotiate more effectively. As an entrepreneur negotiate more effectively. Meanwhile, if the employer asks you about your salary expectations early in the interview, you can tell him/her your expectations or you might choose to talk about that later.

It’s usually preferable to talk about pay once the company has shown interest in you or after an initial offer has been made. A more positive and fruitful discussion regarding pay can be had later in the process if you initially concentrate on your qualifications and how well the position fits you.
