Be open and honest. Transparency is the best choice when salary based questions arise. The best way to discuss your salary expectations is to use your current earnings as an example. You can also use this opportunity to ask about other factors that could affect your number, such as bonuses, incentives, insurance, retirement, and any other benefits they may offer. Take the time to compose the value of all the benefits and perks your previous employers offered you when determining the worth of your experience level.
