It's amazing the stuff you can say in an interview when you already have a job...
Q: Why do you want to leave your current job?
A: I am not really sure that I do.
Q: How much are you looking for?
A: I am pretty happy where I am at, it would take a substantial increase for me to make a move. I am interested in hearing the range.
Q: How much are you making now?
A: I won't disclose, I am interested in hearing what your range is for this position.
Q: What did you think about our technical aptitude test?
A: I work with this stuff every day. I thought I was relatively easy.
Q: We can offer you $XX for this position, would that interest you?
A: No, I am an experienced candidate for this role, it would really take $(add 20K on top of that)
"We'll discuss that with our Denmark and U.S. division heads and get back to you", hopefully we can work out something.
...."That would be great."
2 weeks later......
Q: We can offer you (exactly what I thought they would come back with) 15K on top of our original offer... do we have an agreement?
A: No, since we last talk, I have had my review and an increase that is going to keep me put for the foreseeable future.
