Salary Expectation Showdown

Text on the meme

HR: what is your salary expectation? me: what is your salary range?

What it means

Two cowboys face each other in a dusty Western town, parodying a tense showdown. The joke is that a job candidate turns the salary-expectation question back on HR and asks for the company’s salary range first, expressing skepticism about negotiating blindly. It is used as a reaction to recruiters who avoid stating compensation. EN: Two cowboys face each other in a dusty Western town, parodying a tense showdown.
