QUESTION 27 OF 30

What are your salary expectations?

"As I am newer to my career as an air traffic controller, I would like to gain a healthy balance of fair compensation and opportunity for growth. Compensation is not my primary driver."

"I am currently making 130,000 per year. I am looking for compensation that is aligned with the seniority of this ATC role and provides an opportunity for growth."

The interviewer would like to know what your salary expectations are. The best way to discuss your salary expectation is to use your current earnings as an example. Be open, and honest. Transparency is the best choice when salary based questions arise.

"Currently, I earn a base salary of 95,000 per year, and I would like to stay in the same range or slightly higher."
