Ciao a tutti,
Attualmente sono nel bel mezzo di un processo di assunzione per un ruolo di Growth Marketing Manager a Monaco e mi farebbero bene alcuni consigli.
Il processo finora è stato piuttosto complicato:
- 1° colloquio: conversazione di 1 ora con il CMO
- Poi mi hanno assegnato un caso per costruire una strategia di campagna di marketing di crescita completa (mi ci sono volute circa 12 ore per prepararmi)
- 2° colloquio: presentazione di 1 ora e mezza + discussione del caso, hanno detto che stanno prendendo in considerazione anche altri 20 intervistati per questo ruolo.
Dopo quella chiamata ha detto che la presentazione era stata molto buona e mi ha chiesto di inviare il mazzo, le referenze e le mie aspettative di stipendio – screenshot della chat allegato.
Per il contesto: – Il ruolo è ibrido di Monaco – Il JD afferma di 3-5+ anni di esperienza, io ho 7+ anni – È un ruolo di Growth Marketing Manager in B2B SaaS / RegTech
La mia preoccupazione è che il mio stipendio precedente (mercato indiano) è ovviamente molto inferiore a quello che sarebbe uno stipendio a Monaco, e non voglio che questo ancori la trattativa troppo in basso.
Allo stesso tempo non voglio nemmeno sembrare evasivo o sprecare l’opportunità.
Come risponderesti in questa situazione? Vorresti: – quale fascia salariale dovrei indicare per tale ruolo? – Qualsiasi consiglio da parte di persone che hanno negoziato gli stipendi in Germania sarebbe davvero utile.
Grazie!

Check what is the yearly % growth of your specific role/position, as well of the current market trend and your current salary. You can even ask any AI LLM to do that for you, you dont have to ask reddit.
additionally to the other comment, you can check out kununu. see if previous employees of that company in a similar/equal role have posted something
ChatGPT answer seems reasonable.
Standard / mid-level (roughly 3–7 yrs experience):
• ~€60,000 – €90,000 — common base salary range seen in listings and salary data.
Glassdoor +1
More senior or high-impact roles (lead within Growth / broader remit):
• Up to ~€90,000 + (in stronger companies or with proven impact).

I would transparently both state my expectation (Munich-based) and past. The person hiring you is not going to be silly, everyone knows that an India-based salary will not be comparable at all. That makes it all the more important to realistically evaluate and state your expectation for the current role, without relying on the potential employer to give you a band.
Think about the messaging: If you confidently state a realistic expectation, it means you’ve done your research about (local) value, which is a critical skill. If you ask the employer, you’re offloading that responsibility to a party whose best (and valid) interest is paying you the minimum that you will find acceptable.
The key is that YOU do the research, that it is realistic, and that you stand confidently behind it. Negotiations are always possible (and common), but you need to make the first pitch.
You do not need to provide your current salary to a potential employer. From what I understand they aren’t allowed to ask this
You said he asked for your salary expectations but this has nothing to do with your previous salary, neither is it relevant to them how much you earned in the previous role.
Just lie lol
I never once answered this question. When asked, my response is ‘My salary expectations are X’ and no one has kept asking. The only important part for a business is to know if their budget meets your expectations. If not, they will likely tell you.
But I recommend everyone never to reveal their previous salary bc they will often use that as the threshold and think you will be ok with a slight raise. This question punishes humble people.
So if you don’t do what he says he does not proceed. Noted.
You dodged a bullet.
Damn woman. You went ahead and worked on a presentation, presented and then were asked to share the deck and they didn’t even settle on salary! That’s the first question. The absolute first
What’s the salary! And to top it off, you are in India not even here.
Im going to say it. They are wasting your time. That whole , we are interviewing 20 others, is a dead giveaway. I’m really sorry and you can hope for the best, but there’s tons of growth marketing in Germany itself unemployed and way more experienced and native speakers.
Yes they say they are international etc etc, but….
Anyways congrats on the interview and I do hope people stop doing speculative presentations for fucks sake! This encourages these assholes at tech to ask
For presentations that can only be pulled out of our asses without understanding the strategy and direction and you did that without even discussing pay.
TLDR: 1) you shouldn’t be doing speculative presentations. Period.
2) growth marketing manager – 55k to 65k anything above is head of marketing 65k to 80k
Forget what-everyone’s saying online or here. This is it.
From the screenshot you shared, I can’t see that they were asking for your previous salary. However, one way to present your expectations could be based on your costs you have for a living in this way. You don’t have to share your previous salary as when you share your expectations for the salary and have some arguments that it’s connected to your living costs and the money you need to live your live your life the way you want to live it nobody can say anything about it.
Why wouldn’t you just lie? Legally they can do fuck all to prove otherwise lol. Realistically based on what see people make in Munich, you will probably end up in a 65-75k range at 7 years experience.
May I ask what the salary for this role if I have only 3 years experience and based in Berlin/ Hamburg?
Never provide your current salary to hiring managers. You should give an indication based on your work experience and come at fair market salary. Note that immigrant hires are generally quite abused in terms of salaries by these employers. They are hired at much lower than market rate and the appraisals in Germany are incredibly low in general. So you will get stuck at a very low salary working crazy hours in a foreign country.
No one has ever asked me my current salary and I have worked and switched cos here for 2 decades.
