Desired salary in the interview: How to answer the question correctly. “You don’t talk about money, you have money,” says a well-known German proverb.
In an international comparison, Germany is fifth place in how people talk openly about money. If you mention 63,500 euros as your desired salary, you might get 62,000 euros as a counteroffer. If the number is too high, you risk being classified as too “costly” by the interviewer.
