| > How do you politely refuse to disclose previous salary information? Say you're under a salary NDA? Although this mightn't be the best answer to the question, answering with a figure, made up or not, might help you in some way. > Living costs Well this is none of there business and is a signal of sorts. But that said it's an intriguing question if they are not in the 'stay far away' category. Firstly the interviewer might just be a nerd with bad people skills/inexperience in interviewing (Assuming you're in IT) Secondly maybe the company is very serious about work life balance rather than hard cash. I'd be asking why they want to know living costs and why as an employee it's important for them to know. Then politely declining or continuing depending on how you feel after a conversation. But this is an out there question you can't prepare for, next time it'll be something else weird. Everything is easy in hindsight. The salary question is more common. |
