12. Would you be willing to take a salary cut?
How to Answer
Hopefully, this question is being asked of you during your second or third interview. Salary negotiation is a real and sometimes an intimidating topic for people. Are you interviewing for a position that you know pays less? Maybe the selling factor is that there will be less drive time, more time with you family and less stress. Sometimes these reasons mean more to you than money.

"Currently I'm making approximately $20K more a year than you are offering at this time. I would be open to negotiating a lower starting salary but would hope that we can revisit the subject in a few months."
