Description
In this episode of Interview Prep with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna tackle the delicate topic of salary expectations in interviews. Learn when to bring up compensation, how to research market rates, and how to answer the dreaded 'What are your salary expectations?' question without pricing yourself out or undervaluing your worth. The hosts walk through a specific script for turning the question back to the employer, and discuss the data points you should have ready—like the median salary for your role in your city, and how to factor in total compensation including equity, bonuses, and benefits. They also touch on what to do if the employer lowballs you, and how to negotiate gracefully. This episode is packed with actionable advice for job seekers at any level, from recent grads to experienced executives. If you've ever felt uncomfortable talking money in an interview, this episode will give you the confidence and framework to handle it professionally.
