Should the salary expectation when applying for a job be net or gross?

When applying for a job on Get on Board, you must specify your salary expectations. Starting in October 2022, the requested value is gross salary (before legal deductions).

Why the change?

Get on Board is an international job platform. In most countries, gross salary is negotiated at hiring, so we use a common format: gross salary in USD.

How do I know if I should enter net or gross?

During the transition, each job indicates the expected format in the salary expectation field. If a job still uses net salary, the company will see that your amount is net.

Once all jobs use gross salary, always enter the gross amount.
