Employment Compensation: How Much Do You Want to Get Paid?

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.
