Most employers offer higher salary incentives to get more seasoned employees. This is not meant to devalue a person's knowledge or experience. It is important to note that the interviewer is not saying you will make less than someone with more experience. This question is often asked to see how you respond and how badly you want a position. If an employee is willing to put in the work and earn the pay increase, employers see them as someone worth investing in. This is a good time to ask what the beginning salary is and discuss options that are negotiable, such as benefits and paid time off.

"I understand that years of experience are often rewarded with higher earnings. I feel, given the chance to demonstrate my knowledge and skills, you will find that I am capable of doing the job as well as some of the more experienced employees. Having said that, I will not turn down an offer of employment because of a difference in pay based on my present lack of experience. With that in mind, what benefits are available for someone coming on board with your company with my resume?"

"While I do not doubt that my education and skills are comparable to those of employees at Syneos Health in the same position, I understand and appreciate that Syneos Health likes to acknowledge and reward employees for their years of experience. With that in mind, I am willing to accept a position at a lower beginning rate and prove myself worthy for a higher rate later."
