Hello Boss good morning
I just got an interview invitation for a remote junior software developer role. Please, how do I prepare? What questions do they normally ask? What can I do to get this job? What are the do's and don'ts? Just help me with any tip on how to scale through this interview. .
Thanks

HR will ask you questions that are as simple to answer like what projects you've worked on, your previous work experience etc.

Just try to make conversation with the HR person

Thank you so much for getting back to me. About the salary expectation... That question is usually tricky. How much is "fair'? The last time an HR asked me this question, he never replied me again after I told him my salary expectation. Is $5k/month too much? I just want to get every information right. Thanks in anticipation

Normally, it is a tricky question for everyone. What I did to get mine: I did not give an exact amount but a range. But before I gave the range, I browse about what others doing the same job receive. If you lucky to hear from an insider too, it is smart to give a range. $5k is a bit much but it depends the company you are applying to. If its purely foreign, it is not much because of the inflation in the country and the company may not understand the company's economic terrain. But if its partly foreign and in this country, I will go for partly $3.5 to $4k.

5k for an entry role? LMAO wetin dey give una this kain mind

Forget all the fairytales you've heard here and on twitter. very very few people earn 5k monthly, even 3k monthly is a very very solid salary in 90% of the world and while you're try not to lowball yourself, you shouldn't go asking for an amount that make you sound ridiculous like you've never held a job before.

Realistically, 2k is a fair ask for an entry position depending on if its a company in a good country in the west, aside that, set your goals on 1k and 1.5k and work your way up with improving your skills and a resume.

My 2 cents

.
Thanks bro
It's a US company actually
