Texas Children's Hospital was initially looking for someone with five years or experience in a similar role. Considering you have just two years, would you be willing to accept this position at a lower salary?

The interviewer wants to see if you are willing to earn your way up if they do not offer you top compensation. Discuss with the interviewer what you would expect for compensation if offered this position. Remember that you have two years of experience preceded by years of medical training. Even though you do not have five years of experience, you need to be compensated fairly for your knowledge and education. Focus on negotiating what you think would be fair compensation while showing your willingness to work your way up the ladder
