Live voice practice
Practice the salary expectations question
Answer the question directly while preserving flexibility, credibility, and negotiating room.
Co-Star speaks first. Your microphone is used live and audio is not stored.
Co-Star's role
A professional recruiter who wants a usable number, tests vague deflections, and remains respectful.
What you'll practice
A recruiter asks for compensation expectations, then follows up on range, current compensation, flexibility, and competing processes.
- State a credible position calmly
- Avoid overexplaining
- Respond to pressure without giving away unnecessary leverage
What Co-Star evaluates
- Directness
- Range rationale
- Composure under pressure
Review focus: Focus on whether the answer was direct, bounded, and adaptable rather than prescribing a universal negotiation tactic.
Example outcomes
A concise range answer
A natural way to ask for the budgeted range
