Interview types · Salary talk
Practice the salary conversation before it's real.
Maya makes you an offer and you negotiate it, out loud. The offer is based on web research into pay for your role and location, with room left to negotiate.
A full negotiation, start to finish
Your expectations, your priorities, the offer, your counter, the other levers, some pressure, and the wrap-up.
Pushback, on purpose
Maya pushes back so you can practice staying calm and not accepting or refusing on the spot.
More than base pay
Practice asking about the whole package: bonus, time off, remote days, start date, review timing.
Graded on negotiation, not interviewing
This round has its own rubric: anchoring, value, composure, the whole package, tone and closing.

Questions about this round
Are the numbers real?
Maya's offer is based on web research into pay for your role and location. It's a practice figure, not a market guarantee.
Will this get me a higher salary?
No one can promise that. It lets you say your number out loud, under a little pressure, before it matters.
Rehearse it out loud
Your first practice interview takes about 10 minutes.
