Answering questions about your salary in a HireVue interview takes some nuance. When discussing salary, it is best to engage the hiring authority in some back-and-forth negotiation. However, in this situation, you should probably stick to the facts. Doing this effectively will take some planning and research. You'll want to look at your current earnings at your present job, your projected earnings, and anything that can establish your professional worth. Anything that contributes to your costs of living can be discussed here (bonuses, stock options, retirement, etc.). But first, research what Wells Fargo offers regarding their benefits and perks, and determine where they are lacking compared to your current situation. Then, when it comes time to start your interview, you can volunteer the facts of what you currently receive, the pay you would like to start with, and where you would like to be over the next year.

Here are the benefits Wells Fargo advertises for some of their qualifying employees; "401(k) Plan, Discounts & savings, Commuter benefits, Adoption reimbursement, and Education benefits."

And here are some of the value propositions Wells Fargo advertises, which should not be instead of a good salary, but in addition to: "MEANINGFUL CAREER: So much more than just a paycheck. Some people base career decisions solely on the size of the paycheck. But not you. You want to know you're making a difference. Living up to your potential. Receiving critical support, appreciation, and recognition along the way. As a world-class financial services leader, we're uniquely equipped to provide the skills-stretching challenges and guidance you'll need to broaden your horizons and thrive professionally, with a sense of purpose. And all this while earning a handsome paycheck."

When discussing salary, don't clam up or lose your confidence. Continue to deliver a consistent interview. Showing your personality can go a long way, just like live interviews or phone calls. Even though you are talking to the algorithm, you want to imagine you are speaking to a real person. Try to come across as relaxed as possible, speaking in a level yet enthusiastic tone. Maintain eye contact, and smile softly.
