First and foremost, I appreciate so much what you both have put together for the world to learn, grow, and reference.

Is it worth going through with an interview to then attempt a high ball negotiation? It feels like when you’re house shopping and it's $100k overpriced so you put in an offer way the hell below.

Just looking for insight from the pros.”</p><p>🎥 Check out our free training - Top Interview Tips <u><a href="https://www.interviewboss.com.au/top-interview-tips" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.interviewboss.com.au/top-interview-tips</a></u></p><p>🏫 To get step by step help with your interview prep on demand check out our Interview Academy<a href="https://www.interviewboss.com.au/interview-academy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><u><a href="https://www.interviewboss.com.au/interview-academy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.interviewboss.com.au/interview-academy</a></u></p><p>☕ Did our podcast help you out?
