“I’m more interested in knowing what makes sense for you. This question holds far more importance to me because it indicates how much you value me, based on the value you think I can offer you.
Any salary I’d come up with simply isn’t fair to you. It’ll be forever biased because it’ll be based on previous job offers I’ve gotten in the past, the current market rate…..”

I don’t like the self worth question that companies ask; I find it unfair to both parties. But your response was golden. Thank you for a well written read.
