Interview Boss
About this episode

You've come across a job that ticks all the boxes, except for one important detail - the posted salary range doesn't align with your expectations. It's a situation that requires careful consideration, and we're here to help!

We get it - finding a job that aligns with your skills and aspirations is exciting. But when the salary range falls short, it's natural to feel a bit torn. In this episode, we'll guide you through working out if you should go ahead or politely excuse yourself. We talk about the RAW numbers and how long it could take you to get to the salary you want if you start a bit lower. If you’re tossing up the priority of salary, this episode will give you plenty to think about!

🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Yischa “Hi ladies! I happened upon an internal job opportunity with my company that would be a completely different path and in a moment of temporary insanity, decided to toss my hat in the ring. I created a resume (I grew into my current role from a very entry level position over the past 12 years) and hit submit. When I received a callback for an interview I panicked. That’s when I found your podcast. You guys have held my hand through 3 very nerve wracking interviews. You spoke to my imposter syndrome, helped me hone in on my strengths and gave me the confidence to ask for the job. I received a call with the offer today. Thank you both, for helping to empower others and being a positive light in this world. I will absolutely recommend your podcast to others. Cheers!”
