Ah, the dreaded salary expectations question. Interviewees often feel uncomfortable discussing compensation, worried that they will give a number that's too high or too low. Answering this question tactfully requires a delicate balance of knowing your professional worth, while also understanding what Red Bull can realistically offer you for compensation.

Rather than giving a specific number, it's best to provide a realistic range that allows room for negotiation. It's helpful to do your research beforehand using various online resources to ensure that you have a good idea of the salary range.
If you're unsure of a fair range for this position, this question is an opportunity for a discussion with the interviewer. To avoid pigeonholing yourself into a salary that's lower than what they might offer you, you can ask your interviewer to share the typical salary range for the role.

"Thanks for asking. I was hoping to get more information first about the salary range you're offering for this position. Would you be able to share that information with me?"
