What are your salary expectations?
Interviewees often feel uncomfortable discussing compensation because they are worried that will give a number that's too high or too low. Answering this question tactfully requires a fine balance of knowing your professional worth and understanding what Anheuser-Busch can realistically offer you for compensation.
Rather than giving a specific number, it's best to provide a realistic range that allows room for negotiation. It's helpful to do your research beforehand using various online resources to ensure that you have a good idea of the salary range.
If you're unsure of a fair range for this position, this question is an opportunity for a discussion with the interviewer. To avoid pigeonholing yourself into a salary that's lower than what they might offer you, you can ask your interviewer if they can share the typical salary range for the role.
"I am looking for compensation that is aligned with the role and provides an opportunity for growth. Right now, I'm searching for roles in the realm of 100,000 - 120,000."
"Thanks for asking. I was hoping to get more information first about the salary range you're offering for this position. Would you be able to share that information with me?"
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

You've answered wisely by asking if there is a salary range for the role rather than providing an actual salary number. It may be more appropriate to provide a specific number when you're discussing the details of the position or when you receive an offer. You can also assure the interviewer that you have a flexible salary range, but that you'd like to be compensated appropriately based on your experience and performance record.
