Knowing Your Worth and Setting Expectations
When applying for a job with a salary range, it can be difficult to know what price to ask for. However, it's important to go for the top end of the range and aim high. To have confidence in negotiations, come prepared with a list of qualifications, skills, and experiences that demonstrate why you deserve the higher end of the range. Research the company and job to highlight your point of difference and show how you can contribute to their goals. By showcasing your value and unique qualities, you can negotiate with confidence and advocate for the salary you deserve.
Emphasizing Your Qualifications and Contributions
During the screening or interview process, focus on highlighting your qualifications and the specific contributions you can make to the company. Clearly communicate how your skills and experiences align with the job requirements and show how you can bring value to the organization. Additionally, emphasize any unique qualities or initiatives you can bring to the table that set you apart from other candidates. By showcasing your strengths and demonstrating your potential impact, you can create a strong case for yourself and negotiate from a position of confidence.
Demonstrating Initiative and Research
To negotiate with confidence, take the time to thoroughly research the company and position before the interview. Understand their culture, values, and goals, and identify potential areas where you can contribute and make a difference. During negotiations, demonstrate initiative by presenting ideas on how you can add value and suggesting areas where the company can pivot or improve. Show that you are proactive, driven, and have a clear understanding of their needs. By presenting yourself as a proactive and knowledgeable candidate, you can negotiate from a position of strength and make a strong case for your desired salary.

Challenges in Communicating Deeply with a Partner
In this segment, the hosts discuss a listener's challenge of having deeper conversations with their partner. While the partner is affectionate and accepting, they often struggle to contribute to discussions on topics like politics, childhoods, misogyny, racism, and religion. The hosts suggest that it might be a difference in interest or intellectual capacity rather than a lack of love or respect. They advise the listener to evaluate the importance of deep conversations in the relationship and communicate their needs and concerns. While it may be challenging, finding common ground and understanding each other's perspectives is pivotal in any relationship.

I’ve been in a relationship and living with my partner for about 3.5years now. When it comes time to have any deeper conversations he consistently shuts down, whether this be about our relationship or discussing deeper topics of interest like politics, unpacking childhoods, relationships with parents, misogyny, the patriarchy, racism, religion etc. He will always listen and he is happy for me to say what’s on my mind however he never knows how to respond or how to add to the conversation other than to say nothing or make a senseless immature joke. I really struggle in these moments as it makes me feel really alone. Like I am giving a lecture to someone or having a conversation with myself. I don’t know what is the “normal,” amount of “deeper” conversation that most men typically engage in and for how long, or for how often? I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do, or if I am being unreasonable in asking for too much?
Eyes closed or eyes open during sex?
My partner will wake up first thing in the morning and check his phone in bed while he’s next to me and reply to work emails and messages he’s missed overnight. Whereas I’m the type of person who likes to wake up and not go on my phone straight away. He will also often talk to me while on his phone and therefore not fully hear what I’m telling him. It really irks me as I like to have more boundaries around technology. I know I can’t and shouldn’t tell him what to do but I’m also struggling on my end because of it. What can I do?
We had a really great conversation with Johann Hari about how we can be so distracted by technology that you can listen to!
