Recruitment at Procter and Gamble is often a very competitive process, with many great candidates looking to join a world-class organization. To get a feel for if they will be able to afford your services, your interviewer may ask if you come to the interview at Procter and Gamble with any salary expectations.
"In my current position, I earn a base salary of 45,000 with a great benefits package. In support of my family, my new job search is definitely seeking a similar salary and benefits package. More importantly, I'm looking for an employer that I would be able to grow and thrive with for the rest of my career and I'm confident that I found that here at Procter and Gamble."
"I would like to earn slightly above where I am now. I am currently making 85,000 per year with two bonus opportunities. I am looking for compensation that is aligned with the role and provides an opportunity for growth at Procter and Gamble. If that is out-of-range for this position, I would hope we could discuss alternative benefits and/or a path to reach that salary goal."

The best way to discuss your salary expectations is to use your current earnings as an example and be open and honest about any expectations that you have. Transparency is the best choice when salary-based questions arise, but of course, you need to do your homework on Procter and Gamble and the role you are interviewing for to ensure that the role you are interviewing for meets your expectations. If you are considering the full benefits package that Procter and Gamble offer, be sure to let your interviewer know that as well.

"As a new graduate, I'm open to negotiating. Base salary is important to me, but the total rewards package, including medical insurance, retirement options, and education benefits are of equal interest and importance when considering an offer."

Currently, I earn a base salary of 30,000 per year plus a potential 20% annual bonus. I want to stay in the same range or gain a slight increase. I was not able to find out the current range of salary for this position, can you please put some light on it?

This is a great answer because you are specific yet offer room for feedback/conversation. Well done!

Well, the salary for this job usually ranges between 50 000 to 80 000, so considering my portfolio, experience, knowledge, and even IQ report which were all provided with my application I think 65 000 would be fair.

This can be a challenging question to answer because if you provide too low of a number you might not get the salary you could have, but if you give too high of a number the interviewer might think you want more money than they can offer. To combat this issue, consider giving a range instead. You can follow that up by questioning them in response as to what kind of salary they are looking to pay.

I can't give an exact number, I would say somewhere below the average when taking into consideration my experience, also I am not fully aware of all the responsibilities the positions brings, as I hold that has a major role in defining a salary.
