      Negotiation

      No negotiation. It was cut and dried. They named a price
      and no room for negotiation. I figured I just
      needed to work hard to earn more.

      Easy Interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at IBM (Boston, MA (US)) in March 2016.

      Interview

      Brief and mostly focused on personality and sales experience.

      Lots of conversation about the current state of tech.

      Several questions aimed at developing an understanding of the ways in which I viewed internal interface systems.

      Managed to speak with over five different people before the two days of interviewing were over.

      Process was smooth and I was entirely aware of every step in the process.
