#5: “In Money?”
Don’t sound too eager to finally own currency and leave the barter caves. Act casual.
#4: “What does your mom make?”
A bold anchoring tactic, but risky if she is dead or lowly paid.
#3: “How much you got back there?”
Employers rarely keep much in the interview room vault. Basing your pay off that pile is playing into their hands.
#2: “I’m focused less on pay and more on my long-term growth.”
You idiot.
#1: “I thought this was a date.”
There is still a chance you could end up with sex here. And money. Don’t screw this up.
Bonus: “Dobby would settle for a company hat, sir.”
Your interviewer will see through this ploy. You must earn your swag. And your freedom.
