What are your salary expectations?

Discussing salary expectations is best done based on market conditions, responsibility level, and workload. For a senior Java developer, it is important to consider:

• The average salary level in the region and company.
• Your experience and unique skills.
• Additional bonuses and conditions (remote work, social package).

You can respond roughly like this: "I base my expectations on the market level for a senior Java developer in your region, approximately in the range of X–Y, but I am willing to discuss details depending on the tasks and conditions."

It is important to be honest and flexible to find a mutually beneficial solution.
