Ever faced the salary question in an interview and felt like you dropped the ball? I did last week! After preparing for ages, I fumbled over my expected salary. Negotiating can be tough! Have you been in this situation?

This always tripped me up early in my career. In my defense, that was at a time when it was a lot harder to research average pay than it is now. Nowadays it's very easy to get a sense of what roles are paying thanks to Glassdoor/Google/Chat GPT. I'll check all of them before going in for an interview to get an idea of the range I should be asking.

Absolutely agree! So grateful for having these platforms at least we have an average rate otherwise it would be really hard.
Also, one thing to add that I think you get more accand up to date rates over here than Google and chat GPT cus people share it.

It’s good to have a plan until the plan goes out the window. That’s how I always feel going into these negotiations

Exactly! Until the plan goes out of the window. That's what happened to me last week. I was expecting to start the conversation differently.

I’ve stumbled through some questions even after practicing. It happens, and just means I need to try and figure out how to do better the next time.

That is exactly it! Mistakes are learning experiences, and that is the best way to look at them.
