When answering salary-based questions, try to refocus on establishing your professional worth. This includes how well prepared you were for your interview and how well you performed. This also includes any other job offers you may have received or what recruiters or headhunters suggest you are worth. Additionally, you'll want to inquire when you, as a potential hire, would be up for a pay increase and forecast your earnings over the next year or two.
But, before discussing your professional worth, review their total reward packages (compensation and benefits), "We offer competitive and balanced terms of employment and an attractive remuneration package composed of: base salary, performance-related awards, other financial and non-financial benefits." Also, if you are relocating for this opportunity, take into consideration your cost of living as well.

"Well, for starters, I have enjoyed our discussion and this opportunity to review my qualifications and what I have to offer. My current employers are currently paying me this much and have to offer a 5% increase if I chose to stay with them. This is before my next pay review in three months. Now, the cost of living is roughly 10% higher than where I live. But the total rewards benefits package the EIB offers is quite generous and has a few offerings I don't currently receive at my current employer."
