Hi all, recently I've been asked the “what's your current salary/bonus” question in interviews - would like to pick your brains on how to smartly react.
To me, disclosing current salary is not a big issue (consultant base at MBB are quire standard). Real issue is on the bonus part - bonus is sensitive as it links directly to performance.
My questions are:
(1) Should I disclose salary / bonus information? If not, any smart ways to address the question?
(2) On the bonus part, is it sensible to say the exact figure is “confidential”? Typically after I said bonus is normally 20%, the hiring manager would further ask what was the exact figure this year.
Thanks in advance!
