In telephone screening interviews, it’s common for hiring managers to ask candidates for their salary expectations. Why do they ask this question? 

They want to make sure your salary expectations align with the amount they have budgeted for the job. The hiring manager is also testing you to see if you know and will ask for what you’re worth. 

While hiring managers have good reasons for asking this question upfront, it's tricky to answer it at the beginning of the job interview process. Consider that a salary is only one component of an overall benefits package. 

Yet, if you give a higher range than the company has set, they will eliminate you, and the company will never find out if you would have been worth paying a higher salary. So this question poses a real problem. 

You have to convince the employer to ask you this question later in the recruitment process or provide a well-informed range that doesn't get you eliminated from the candidate pool. By the time you are a top candidate, employers will be far more willing to give you the salary you want and deserve. 

In this episode, you will learn where to research an appropriate salary range for your role. You’ll also get three strategies for answering the question with sample responses.

By the end of the episode, you will be prepared to talk confidently about your salary expectations.

Salary Expectations: How to Answer This Interview Question

For the second year in a row, Taylor Swift has been named Spotify's most-played artist.

The streaming service has released its annual overview of individual listening trends as well as trends from around the world — called Spotify Wrapped.

Users can now see their top artists, songs, genres, albums and podcasts, as well as uncover which artists had the biggest year on the platform.

Swift was 2024's most-streamed artist globally, ranking in more than 26.6 billion streams. She was followed by The Weeknd, Bad Bunny, Drake and Billie Eilish.

Swift also earned the title of most-streamed album in 2024, with The Tortured Poets Department, while Sabrina Carpenter had the most-streamed song both in the US and globally this year, with her summer hit "Espresso." It was streamed more than 1.6 billion times.

For users who want to look back at their listening habits over the year, there were some new features to explore on Spotify Wrapped.

These include a new data story called "Your Music Evolution," which shows three distinct musical phases for each user, and a personalized playlist based on them.

People like to share their Spotify Wrapped data on social media, although this year some complained that the roundup was missing certain features they'd previously enjoyed.

Streaming now accounts for most of the money generated by the music industry — 84% in the United States, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, and 67.3% around the world, according to a 2024 report by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, which tracks global sales.

Spotify is the largest platform of all with a reported 626 million users and 246 million subscribers.

Spotify Users Look Back on Year of Listening Habits

MUSEO NACIONAL DE LA REVOLUCIÓN MEXICANA.

Bajo toneladas de concreto, a los pies del Monumento a la Revolución, y en los sótanos de lo que alguna vez se pensó sería el gran Palacio Legislativo del gobierno de Porfirio Díaz, vive el Museo Nacional de la Revolución, un espacio de vanguardia museística dedicado a la divulgación del proceso histórico de la Revolución Mexicana.

El Museo Nacional de la Revolución cuenta con tres áreas de exhibición: un Museo de sitio, donde se pueden apreciar las distintas etapas constructivas del Palacio Legislativo; una Sala de Exposiciones Temporales, donde periódicamente se exhiben diferentes muestras con temas específicos que complementan la información sobre el movimiento armado de 1910; y su Exposición Permanente, estructurada en orden temático y cronológico a través de ocho salas: La Consolidación del Estado mexicano, El Porfiriato, La Revolución democrática, La Revolución política, La Revolución popular, La Guerra Civil y la Constitución, Las bases del nuevo Estado mexicano y El Cardenismo

Entre sus principales atractivos está el conjunto de elementos escultóricos de fibra de vidrio y poliuretano que se ubican en la parte central del recinto y rinden homenaje a “La bola”, además de tener en sus vitrinas algunas de las principales piezas que conforman una de las colecciones más importantes en el país sobre el movimiento armado de 1910 y que cuenta con más de 3,300 objetos.
