Before answering, determine
if this is a formal offer, or

00:03:12.255 --> 00:03:14.984
if the interviewer is simply
trying to figure out what

00:03:14.984 --> 00:03:17.921
you're asking. Once you are
sure that this is a real

00:03:17.921 --> 00:03:20.866
offer, determine if this is
an amount you can live with.

00:03:20.866 --> 00:03:25.285
Most employers expect you to
try to negotiate a little. If

00:03:25.285 --> 00:03:28.430
the amount is far below what
you were expecting, ask

00:03:28.430 --> 00:03:30.537
tactfully what other items
would make up the

00:03:30.537 --> 00:03:32.241
compensation package.
