How to Discuss Salary in an Interview: A Guide from Both Sides
Money tends to spark emotions. Here’s a brief, practical playbook from both angles: for candidates—how to state your range with confidence; for companies—how to keep the talk steady.
How to turn every interview to your advantage
Interviews exist to understand how you solve this team’s problems and how easy it is to work with you. You need them just as much: to check whether the role, tasks, and management style match your expectations. It’s a two-way dialogue, not a “guess the right answer” quiz. Your goal is to show your thinking with real examples and to grasp the context of the job.
1% improvement a day: how tiny tweaks shift your conversion
If your job search drags on for weeks with no answers, you don’t always need a full rebuild. A series of micro-experiments can be enough: small, controlled changes to one element of your outreach. This lowers anxiety (you’re running the process), speeds up feedback, and gives you numbers instead of guesses. Tiny gains compound: +1% a day over a year turns into roughly ×37. That’s compounding in action.
Networking without cringe: how to write the first message and get a reply
For those who want results, not awkward small talk. Below: why you should reach out first, how to structure a message, where to network, and how to follow up politely.
Professional Test Drive: how to switch careers in 3–6 months and what to realistically expect
Reskilling isn’t about the magic of courses; it’s about fast hypothesis cycles: pick a direction → assemble baseline skills → do 2–3 small projects → land your first task → iterate. In 3–6 months (8–12 hours per week) this is realistic if you stay focused on practice, not endless content consumption.
For orientation: official tracks like Google IT Support explicitly promise “job-ready” in 3–6 months (at a normal pace).
Below are five tracks that most often work as a “test drive”: IT Support, Manual QA, Customer Support, no-code sites (Webflow/WordPress), and CRM/RevOps via Salesforce Admin.
A small recommendation: don’t choose “where they pay more,” choose what you can do for 10 hours a week without inner sabotage.
