I know my market value quite well.



However, now I got invited to an interview for a position that's higher than those I normally apply for. The career path in my industry is quite clear: junior [position], senior [position], junior manager, senior manager, partner.



Let's say I normally apply for junior manager positions, now got invited for a senior manager position.



What is the best way to deal with a situation like that? My aim is, of course, to get as high a salary as possible. However, it's even more important to get a job.



I see the following solutions here:



  • Using the salary expectation I use for other positions since that's what I would get at other companies

  • Increasing the salary expectation to senior manager's level, since if I don't they will think I'm not at the career level that qualifies me to act as a senior manager

  • Asking questions that would allow me to judge which option is better. However, I don't know what I could ask.

          One-line joke

          A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
