Also, think of a couple questions to ask about the company. They will almost always ask if you have any questions. I think it is better if you have some, then just saying no. For example, ask about their benefits packages.

Don't ask this. Everyone knows you're ultimately there to get a job, so of course you'll want to know about salary and benefits, but if that's what you gravitate towards when they ask you for questions, it's a bad look. You want to ask questions about the position itself, structure you'd be working in, company culture, etc., that show you actually have an interest and passion in the job beyond getting paid. The company will bring up salary and benefits on their own if it gets to that point, at which point then it would be okay to ask questions.

I agree. Dont bother with benefits or salary talk unless they start it. Everyone wants to make money, thats the point. What they want to know is if youre worth what theyre going to offer.

Its best to not talk about it until theres an offer on the table, then you can begin negotiations.

I disagree. I don't think you should talk about salary, but I think ask about benefit and and other perks of the job is perfectly fine. You have to look at the interview as a 2 way interview. They are interviewing to see if you are fit, but you also want to see if you are fit. You want them to have to impress you as well.

I guess depending on how you ask, it could come off as bad, but this has always worked well for me.
