Showing the interviewer that you are confident in your skills and know how to hold a conversation plays a big role imo. The STAR method is great if you use it to arrange your thoughts in your head but don’t actually go through each letter aloud during the interview, I think doing that adds awkwardness to the convo and eliminates the flow of the conversation between you and the recruiter

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.

So I'm interviewing, have had loose salary conversation (talked about band but not specifics), and approaching the official offer stage. It's become clear the role is something I'm very well qualified for, but their pay expectations for the role are much lower than mine. How do I ask if I could be considered for a higher level position in the team in a higher salary band instead?

How should I bring up pay expectations in my next round of interviews to ensure I am aware of what this position is offering so I don’t lowball or overshoot myself?
