The hiring managers at Intuit would like an idea of what a competitive job offer looks like to you. The goal of your response is to describe the compensation plan you're looking for while supporting your salary request with research and facts.

Since the HireVue interview is likely your first introduction to Intuit, you can give a high-level overview of your salary expectations. Overall, be open and honest. Transparency is the best choice when salary-based questions arise.
In addition to your base salary, there are many other factors to a competitive compensation package, including:
- Work/life balance
- Amount of travel required
- Overall medical and health benefits
- Additional perks such as car allowance, cell allowance, or a spending account
- Your level of interest in the industry
- The amount of vacation time offered
- The type of clients/customers you would be working with
- The office location
- Future career growth opportunities
- The size of your new team or department
- The company culture and its brand reputation

Before forming your ask, take your time to list the most important factors to you when considering a new job. Then, do your research. You'll want to find answers to a few essential questions:
- How competitive is the job market for this role
- What's the market range for this kind of role in this industry
- Does compensation vary geographically
- Does Intuit have a reputation for paying above-market value
When you deliver your compensation ask, lean on your skills and accomplishments as justification. It's compelling for a hiring manager to hear about your achievements vs. only saying that you're worth every penny because that's the going range in the industry. If you are providing Intuit with precise compensation numbers, offer a range so that you leave room to negotiate.

The average HireVue interview takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. This one-way video interview typically includes 3-5 questions. Depending on the HireVue parameters set by Intuit, the asynchronous interview platform will generally give you 30 seconds to prepare a response and up to 2 minutes to answer each question. It's important to note that HireVue stops recording as soon as your time limit is up, so it's better to run under time than overtime.

"I can share what I am currently earning and where I would like to be in my next position. Currently, I am earning a base salary of 78K plus an annual bonus opportunity of an additional 10%. Last year my earnings were 85K, and I'd like to earn above that in my next position to reflect the MBA I recently acquired. Overall, I am looking for a compensation plan aligned with the role that provides an opportunity for growth. I look forward to discussing the details of this role so that we can determine a fair compensation plan."

My salary preference is 35.00 an hour working full time. As I’m considering working part-time, my ultimate salary range is 25 -35 an hour due to my extensive knowledge in many areas of accounting.

This is a great answer. You lead by being upfront about where you'd like your salary to be, but also demonstrate flexibility by offering a range that you'd be open to negotiating within.
