Present your base salary along with any bonus opportunity you can achieve plus mention your benefits package. Example: I was last earning a base salary of $75,000.00 plus a 20% bonus opportunity. Present your benefits package as follows: if your current/past company pays 100% of benefits, state that. If they only cover 80% state that. If only 50% was/is covered, you can make the decision to say it or not say it out loud based on how the conversation is going. Please also include your vacation package. Each organization offers a different structure so please make sure you are aware of the structure or do your best to find out ahead of this conversation. You don’t want to overextend and stretch past the new employers comfort range.
