1. What you want to make + 15% 2. Sidestep this one. “Well there are a few opportunities I’m looking at but nothing I can discuss. Right now I’m focusing on this opportunity” 3. Same as 2. None of their business. Redirect the conversation to this job. 4. An opportunity to grow and be challenged in my work. To feel like I am part of a team, part of building something. I want to go home each night and be happy with what I did all day.

I wouldn't move to an insurance company because I feel like people get stuck with only insurance industry type jobs in the future.... maybe for an electronic company like pg&e.

For the salary I would say I am open to salary and looking to find a company that is a good fit for me. You then negotiate salary if you have a second offer somewhere else

1. Are you too expensive, but don’t low ball, research what they typically pay and ask for 5k to 8k more. 2. They are seeing if you will stick around long term, make it sound like you will 3. I would just tell them the truth on this one 4. Again just tell the truth. You don’t want to mess with compatibility.

Make sure to ask this critical question: Is this a new role or am I filling an opening? Why did the last person leave?

Thank you!...This helps

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
