This nuanced question tests your experience level by allowing you to explore the nuance of your career progression with them. It allows you to rate your skills in contrast to your years of experience. Before your interview, review the leaps and bounds you've made, where you advanced from your peers, and where you stood ahead of the curve. Consider how you would contrast yourself with your coworkers. Demonstrate how you stand apart from those who cruise along in their jobs, craving only the status quo. Demonstrate experience, confidence, and leadership potential.

"I feel that employees should be paid and rewarded based on their performance. A new employee would be greatly motivated through being rewarded for performance, and it encourages healthy competition with tenured employees."
