I have an interview for a Risk and Compliance Specialist position at an IT company here in Toronto. While I don't have an IT background, I have good experience in R&C frameworks and transferable skills that would suit their needs. However, what I'm concerned about is the salary. They haven't mentioned anything in the job posting, and the Glassdoor estimate is about $40k below the median for an R&C Specialist in Toronto. Given this, how should I approach the salary talk during the interview?

I don’t think it’s accurate to use glass door or any other similar site as a basis for salary expectations for a specific job based on the title. The size and complexity of the company is going to play a part in how demanding the job will be. A large international company that has to comply with multiple overlapping regulations will pay a lot more then a smaller company that just has to comply with internal/ local requirements.
