What is your current salary?

A potential employer will often base their offer on your current salary. You should be transparent about your most recent earnings, but you shouldn't restrict your answer to your base rate salary either. Be sure to include every aspect of what they have to compete with regarding your current employer. Share what kind of insurance benefits you have, included your retirement, bonuses, overtime rate, annually and hourly, paid time off, anything and everything that could fall under incentives, perks, benefits and compensation.
