I heard about some company where they won't even hire you, if you give them the amount of money you'd like to make. They don't want to you limit yourself by being content with making X amount of money. Otherwise you'll never reach your full potential.

Or something like that.

Proper response to any salary-related question during job interview:

"I would highly consider your best offer."

lol, yea

well, generally, you gotta be truthful, but don't downplay your strengths, and never give a set amount, especially if it's lower than the standard income.

research beforehand so you'll know what competing companies are offering their employees, and ask around the company you're going in for so that you'll know what they are able to give.

and just have some common sense.

Tbh i agree with Toasty, i would be perfectly fine with minimum wage if i liked the job. Because what is money without people to share it with :D. I think money is to much of a big deal so yah i wouldnt mind minimum wage because the more you make the harder the job :P
