How do I handle questions about potential salary?
Salary questions should always be deterred until an offer is on the table. So if a potential employer asks you how much money are you looking to make, what kind of salary are you looking for, the worst question and always a red flag for an applicant is, "What is your bottom line?" or ,"What is the lowest salary you are willing to accept?" If you ever hear that question, that is the major clue to turn down this company and just leave because they are strictly bottom line oriented. And if you're not going to meet their minimum salary requirements, then they are going to hire somebody who will. So you want to make sure that any discussion of salary is talked about when there's an offer on the table because that's the only time you have to really leverage that situation. If you're asked, "How much money are you looking for?" your response should be, "I am very very interested in this position. I'm sure we can come to a meeting of minds. I'm negotiable and flexible on salary. Let's table that discussion until you determine that I am one of the top two candidates."
参考译文：
薪金问题总是offer到手一直阻止我们的问题。因此，如果一个潜在的雇主问你期望的薪资，或是要求哪类的薪水，对于面试者来说都是一个难题“你的底线是多少？”或“你期望能接受的最低薪资是多少？”如果你听说过这个问题，那是拒绝这家公司或离开公司的主要线索。如果你不打算以满足他们的最低工资要求，那么他们将聘请某其他人。所以你要确保任何讨论谈到工资时侯你的offer已经到手，因为这是唯一的时间，你必须要真正利用这种情况。如果你问，“你对薪水要求是多少？”你的反应应该是，“我在这个位置很感兴趣。薪水面议，灵活。讨论这个问题，直到你确定我是其中的候选人为止。
