Dialogue
D: Now, Let's talk about employment conditions, salary, bonuses, and fringe benefits.
L: Sorry, what benefits？
D: Fringe benefitsーin other words, employee benefits such as housing allowance and travel expenses.
L: I see. Thank you.
D: So, what salaly range do you have in mind?
L: Hmm, if it's OK to be straight with you, I'd like to see at least a 20% increase compared with my current annual income.
D: I see. 20% increase compared with my current annual income.
I see. 20% is a big jump, isn't it? Could you tell us where the figure comes from?
L: Well, if I continue to do well in my current job, I'll probably be promoted to manager next year and get a salary increase of almost 20%. I want my salary to be matched to that level, at least.
D: OK. We'll keep that in mind.
