Number one, first thing is, under no circumstances (ни при каких
обстоятельствах) do I ever want you to actually give them a number. Why?
Well, number one, first thing about this is it’s uneducated (неграмотно). You
do not know what it’s like (как это) to work there, what you’ll get to do, who
you get to do it with, the training and development opportunities
(возможности), the vacation, the benefits, the benefit costs (расходы на
выплату пособий), all of those things. So, it’s very difficult for you to hit the
nail on the head (попасть в яблочко) by giving them a number, especially
(особенно) this early in the process.
The second thing is I don’t want you to worry. There is not a recruiter
(рекрутер) in the world who determines (определяет) whether you get hired
or where you get paid, or what you get paid. The hiring officials (люди,
которые имеют право нанимать на работу) do that, I mean, unless (если
только) the recruiter is the hiring official or the HR person is the hiring
official (люди, которые имеют право нанимать на работу). So, I don’t want
you to worry about that, because they’re not ultimately (в конце концов)
going to determine (определить) what you’re going to get paid, even if they
give you a guideline (руководство) as to what the position pays. I don’t want
you to worry about that upfront (наперёд/заранее).
The other thing is, I don’t want you to actually give a number, because you
might either aim (нацелиться) too low (на слишком низкую цену), in which
case you’re setting their expectations (даёшь им установку/заставляешь их
думать) that your expectations are low, even though (даже если) they might
