The dreaded question - here’s a few pointers.
- Be prepared to disclose your compensation desire. Remember that your Recruiter has informed them of your desire, so be consistent with that number.
- Never bring up money until at least the second or third interview. If you are working with a recruiter, they will have this information for you.
- Be prepared to disclose the specifics of your current compensation package.
- Overcome objections if you are aware that you are currently earning more than the range of what your potential employer is able to offer.
- Don’t lie or look to money hungry.
- Do ensure you are not under-valuing yourself, that’s why there is a negotiation during the Offer period.
- Access your recruiter to help you in this area. They will act as a broker during the hiring process or at the time of Offer.
