What is the best answer for the Salary Question at the interview??

 

The Best Way to Answer Salary Interview Questions?

- “Before I answer that question I’d like to ask what you typically pay someone with my experience and education in this type of position?”

-I’m sure when the time comes and I know more about the facts of the position and how it fits into the bigger picture, we can come to a mutually agreeable figure.

 

-“Based on my previous experience and education and the ‘going rate’ for this type of position, I would like to be in the mid to high70s. Is that a range that fit with your compensation structure?”

You want as much as possible, the employer wants you for as little as you're willing to take. So to avoid this question during the interview you can answer that at this stage you are more interested to know more about the responsibilities and the challenges of the job prior to discuss salary. Also you can say that you are open and flexible based upon the position and overall compensation package, and try not to set any expectations, whenever the salary question arises, it’s important to make potential employers consider the skills you can offer their team. The salary negotiation should take place after offering the job so at this stage you can paly with your different cards.

 

It is very difficult for interviewees to answer this type of question because sometimes it loses the chance of job. My suggestion is that every one should be honest on this issue. If you have been asked for expected salary you can bargain when you are employeed. If you are unemployed, you should be flexible and say follow the organization rules and regulation.

First of all, you definitely need to have an exact figure in mind. Don't think you can say "what are you prepared to offer?" or "salary isn't important to me; other factors are more important". These answers won't do you any favours. The employer needs to know what you're looking for to ensure that they can afford to pay you that figure. At worst, if you don't answer your application will not be progressed beyond the initial stages as they won't want to waste their time as they may not be able to afford you; at best they'll think that you couldn't be bothered to research the market. So, first of all find out what the market rate is. You can look at job ads which are similar which do have the salary specified, and you can ask friends and ex-colleagues who have similar roles in different companies what they're on (if they want to share!). You can also find online salary calculators, although I don't find these to be reliable. You can also base it on what you earn now if you work for a similar company - if you're moving to a similar role ask for a5% increase; otherwise a promotion could be a10% increase. Now, it's important to remember that this is *not* the final negotiation. They are really asking for informational purposes in the interview, and should you be made an offer, you will have plenty of time to negotiate then. Therefore, I suggest that you phrase your answer along the lines of, "well, without knowing what the full package is, I think I'd be looking for something in the region of £65,000-70,000" (i.e. give them a5k range). Remember as well that if you name a figure that's too high, they'll still consider you if they have a good benefits package, as this can compensate for the loss of income. If you name a figure that's too low, this could look negative as it might suggest that you're not senior enough for the job.

Dear Hala, during the interview when you have been asked for salary then do state the Correct salary in gross and other package details. While, you need to be confident at your side and be assured that every product has it value so the same goes with talent also. If you have related experience and qualification then you can have your expected salary and the employer will review it and based on their pay scale they’ll assess you and decide your pay scale.

 

There is one suggestion I will add that if you found that your expected salary is more than the company offered salary and you have interest in the job then be open, do give them option that you are flexible in salary and will review the salary offered by company.

The market rate for this position is XYZ , and I believe your company is leading the market in your field, so I trust you would offer the best market rate for my best qualfications and competnecies. 

 

if they do offer the best then great,, if the do not, then be great and look for those ones who would appreciate your ASKE. never rely on one interview or one, stay tuned on and actively in job search even after joining new job.

Employee normally start to complaints about salary if he see that organization hug‚ and its our job to inform employee that he can understand salary is low or high depadns on which part of firm he is working

it should be equal to the market value of that position

Well, think about why are you seeking a change? if it is for money, you should ask for25-30% more than what you are getting now in the same country, and if it is different country you should look for Cost of Living, Accommodation cost and add on top of your current salary with additional percentage of15-25%.

And if you are seeking change for other reason, just state that I am getting this much right now, I would like to see your best offer above my current salary. Usually you will get10-15% with this answer. 

The matter of the fact is you should have a have always study about the job we are applying for like job market from min to max and would you be able to win interview or do  you have talent skills and knowledge to fulfill there expectation  of the company if the answer is yes them probably you can ask question about negotiate salary.

 

I think the best honest answer would be depends on what the responcibilities are
