What are your salary expectations?
Provide the company with a target range you would like your salary to fall within given your experience and the position you are applying for. By providing a range, you demonstrate flexibility while voicing what you feel your value is worth. Becton, Dickinson and Company's website mentions a Total Rewards program, which includes competitive pay, benefits, continuous learning, recognition, career growth, and life balance components. You can also mention that the total benefits package would impact your desired salary, and you'd like to learn more.
"Given my background, formal education, and on-the-job experience, I'm looking to earn between 80,000-87,000. However, medical benefits, 401k, and performance-based bonus potential are also important to me and aspects I would take into consideration."
"Base salary is important to me; however, I'm looking for a better work-life balance. Ideally, I would like to be in the 60-65,000 range, but I'm open to negotiating based on the entire compensation package."
