The salary question could be a tricky one. It's like someone asking: "What do you think you are worth?" With a little research, we can take the emotion out of it and give a strong and strategic answer. First, let's find out the market rate for this position. Go to Glassdoor.com and click the Salaries tab. Under "Are you paid fairly?" enter your target position and your location. What average compensation shows up for this position in your area? If you are interviewing with a company in a different location, run a search for their local area as well. Choose the salary range that feels right for you. When the interviewer asks "What are your salary expectations?" don't share the numbers right away. Say instead: "My first goal is to find out if we have a good fit. At the same time, I understand that you might be working with a budget, and I want to be respectful of our time. To help us get on the same page, would you mind sharing the salary band for this position?" The interviewer might share the salary band and then ask you: "How does this sound?" If the range works for you, you could say: "This aligns with my research, and this is a good start."  If the salary band is lower than you expected, you can let them know: "This is lower than my research shows the market rate is for this position, and lower than the value I believe I can bring. Is the salary band negotiable?" If the answer is "No" but you would like to continue the conversation, you could say: "This position is interesting to me, and I resonate with the company mission. When I make my final decision, I will consider all the elements of the offer, not just the compensation." If the question still comes back to you, and you feel that you have to share the numbers, share your preferred range and say: "According to my research, the market range for this position is between X and Y, I would be comfortable with the higher end of the spectrum." If the interviewer asks how much you were making in your earlier positions or how much you are making now, you could say: "I don't believe the answer to this question would be helpful for us. Compensation is very contextual and includes more than a salary figure. I would love to understand how much value the company places on this
