About this module

The behavioral round is graded, and vague answers cost offers. This module builds a bank of specific stories with real numbers in them, then stress-tests each one against the follow-ups a trained interviewer asks.

Negotiation is treated as a skill with a script — the single highest hourly-rate conversation of your career, and most people improvise it.
