Compensation & Benefits

Avoid compensation and benefit discussions. If the hiring authority (or human resources) asks about your financial requirements, simply state, "I am currently at _________, and would be open to any reasonable offer." The reason for this answer is that people really go to work for the opportunity and challenge, and if the position is exciting and the compensation plan meets your financial requirements, you'll take the position. It's important that you consider this position on the basis of the opportunity alone.
