Salary expectations
Neutral Neutral
What it really means
What pay you're hoping for, which employers often ask about in applications or interviews. Research the typical range for the role first, then give a band rather than a single number. It's fine to ask their budget too.
Chinese explanation
薪资期望（salary expectations）：你希望的薪酬，雇主常在申请或面试中问及。先查清该岗位的常见区间，然后给一个范围而非单一数字。反问他们的预算也完全可以。
