Before you start talking pay (and salary negotiations) with a prospective employer, you need to find out how much the job (and you) are worth. You will need to take the time to research salaries. That way you will be prepared to get what you're worth and to get a job offer that's realistic and reasonable. And don't be afraid to identify a salary you think you deserve. You need to be realistic but you shouldn't have to work for less than what you are worth. You have a unique set of skills and experience that will be the perfect match for the right role and the right employer. When you find that role, you deserve to be paid fairly for it.

For example you can answer:

☛ Actually sir, I am more interested in my role instead of salary. I would expect appropriate salary as per my role and responsibilities.

☛ I am not looking for great salary. I just want to increase my knowledge and skills. Salary I am looking that as per company norms which fulfill all my necessary needs.
