tip #2: deflect the salary question if it’s asked early in the job interview.
技巧二：在面试期间，如果薪资问题被过早的问到，那么要尽量转移话题。
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.
如果在面试结束之前，还未能了解到你和这位招聘经理是否都认为你是一个合适的人选，告诉这位招聘经理你当前的工资水平或者期待的薪资范围对你没有任何好处。在讨论薪资问题之前，让他或她知道你希望更多地了解这位工作的职责和要求以及你将如何满足这些需求。
tip #3: be prepared to provide a salary range.
技巧三：准备提供一个大致的薪水范围。
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."
