Asking for a higher wage.

"I have worked in sectors where people would worry that asking that question would terminate the interview"

I did not understand this, and still don't.

If there's an advertised wage - $x/hr - and you know this going in, yet ask for more, I can see an interview being terminated.

If there's not an advertised wage, and I ask for something ($x/hr) I can't see how that would lead to an interview being terminated.
