Anyone else remember Soul Calibur 2 Conquest mode?
If I am in the midst of an interview, I don't know if I want the job yet. That's what I'm there to figure out. So I would take this question as an opportunity to outline what I am looking for in a job.
Obviously total compensation is a big part of it, but there are other aspects too. Is the position in-office/remote/hybrid? How flexible are work hours? Is the culture more competitive or collaborative? How is success measured (and rewarded) for this role? How would this job advance my career goals? Lay out what's important to you and ask questions.
If you're early in your career, you might not have a handle on what you want yet. That's okay; it's totally valid to say that you are still figuring things out and are open to whatever experience the job can provide. If nothing else, you might want to ask about mobility within the company--how often does the company promote from within, or allow people to change roles? Does the company have a reimbursement program for job-related training and education?
Even if you are only looking for a pay cheque, you'd be open to transitioning to a new role for more money, right? So highlight up front that you're looking for a position at a company where you will have opportunities to grow.
