How to Answer the What Are Your Salary Expectations Interview Question

In this episode of Interview Prep with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna tackle one of the most anxiety-inducing interview questions: 'What are your salary expectations?' Using a concrete example of a candidate targeting a $120,000 base salary in a mid-level marketing role, they break down three common strategies—from letting the employer name a number first to anchoring high with market data. They discuss why giving a range works better than a single figure, how to handle the 'salary history' ban in many states, and what to say when the recruiter pushes for a number early. The hosts also share a practical script for deflecting the question without sounding evasive, and explain why preparation beats negotiation tricks. This episode is perfect for anyone preparing for a final-round interview or considering a job offer. No fluff, just actionable advice you can use in your next interview. #SalaryExpectations #InterviewAdvice #JobOfferNegotiation #CareerTips #HiringManagerInsights #BehavioralQuestions #Compensation #MarketingJobs #SalaryNegotiation #InterviewPrep #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CareersShow #LucasAndLuna #MidLevelMarketing #JobSearchStrategy #CounterOffer #SalaryRange Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
