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.
