I am a recent grad who received a good job offer. People ask me how much did I get/how much I am going to be making, and I do not want to share this information (with everybody). What is a nice way to avoid answering the question? What should I say so that I do not seem rude yet make it clear that I will not disclose my salary?

I would just say something like "I am making enough to be comfortable."

Yea, and when I do answer questions sometimes I forget to answer a BQ. BQ: A lot. BQ2: Yes. I don't star too many questions. Only those I know I will be interested in coming back to a very long, long time down the road.

Answer their question with another one...why do you want to know? or simply say that it was a good offer and you don't want to disclose your salary as that is personal. Then change the subject. That should stop them in their tracks.

Go with a humorous comment like "my boss says I get paid too much" or the classic "not enough."

Just politely say, 'enough' and leave it at that. If they press then repeat your original answer. If the press further they are being rude and need to be told that they are.
Good luck with your new job!

Do not be afraid of sharing your style of hitting it big. People cannot duplicate your talent. The more you give the more you receive. Who know you will be catapulted to power?

"Sorry, my NDA doesn't let me disclose this. But it's competitive within the field"
(that way, you can blame the refusal on something else.)

When someone asks me I say with a smile, "And tell me exactly why you want to know."
That usually takes care of it!

Tell them that what you earn is personal. If that doesn't stop them, then they are being rude and you can tell them it is none of their business.
