🎧 Mini Dialogue

Recruiter: So, tell me what makes you interested in this role?

You: Honestly, I've been looking for a position where I can leverage my experience in MLOps and platform engineering. I think this would be a good fit because your team is scaling AI infrastructure — which is exactly what I've been doing for the past three years.

Recruiter: That's great. And what do you bring to the table that other candidates might not?

You: I have production experience managing GPU clusters with Kubernetes, plus I've built end-to-end deployment pipelines for large language models. I'm also comfortable negotiating with vendors and cross-functional teams.

Recruiter: Excellent. We'll discuss the compensation package in the next round. Do you have a target range in mind?

You: I do. I'd like to negotiate based on the full package — base, equity, and growth opportunities. I'm flexible, but I want to make sure it reflects the value I can deliver.

💡 Tip of the Day

내일 연봉협상이 있죠? 핵심은 구체적 성과를 숫자로 준비하는 것! "I increased deployment speed by 40%" 같은 문장이 "I worked hard"보다 100배 강력합니다.

Good luck tomorrow, 영주! 🍀
