tip #2: deflect the salary question if it’s asked early in the job interview.
技巧二：在面試期間，如果薪資問題被過早的問到，那麼要儘量轉移話題。
it will do you no good to tell the hiring manager how much you currently make or a desired salary range if you haven’t at least made it to the end of the interview to see if you and the hiring manager believe you’re a good fit. let her/him know you’d like to better understand the job responsibilities and requirements and how well you meet those needs before discussing the salary topic.
如果在面試結束之前，還未能瞭解到你和這位招聘經理是否都認為你是一個合適的人選，告訴這位招聘經理你當前的工資水平或者期待的薪資範圍對你沒有任何好處。在討論薪資問題之前，讓他或她知道你希望更多地瞭解這位工作的職責和要求以及你將如何滿足這些需求。

技巧三：準備提供一個大致的薪水範圍。
this can be handled in a few different ways. you could provide the salary range you’ve researched, as in, “based on my research, similar positions in this geography and industry are currently paying between $x and $y. is this also the range for which you’ve budgeted for this position?” or, you could share the salary range you desire, such as, “based on the job requirements we discussed and my knowledge, skills and experience, i would expect the salary range of the position to be between $x and $y.”
