Salary discussions
If the issue of salary is raised by the employer during your interview, it is best to give a range that starts 10% - 15% above what you are current package. When an offer is made you need to consider a number of things:
- Look at the total cost-to-company package inclusive of all the benefits (e.g. is there a pension and medical aid scheme, incentives, bonuses, overtime payments, a 13th cheque, etc).
- There might be a number of hidden benefits (e.g. training, shares, profit sharing, parking, transport, etc).
- Opportunities for growth and development.
