You have the experience. You’re getting the interviews. So why are you still hearing, “We went with another candidate”?

In this episode of Unleash Your Voice, Priya Sam explains why strategies that worked at the $100K level can hold you back in $200K+ interviews, and what hiring panels are actually listening for at the senior level.

Priya breaks down three interview eliminators and shares a four-part framework for creating a stronger “Tell me about yourself” answer that communicates your leadership, judgment, and impact.

In this episode, you'll learn:

→ Why $200K+ interviews shift from “Can she do the job?” to “Do we trust her to lead?”

→ Why recapping your resume can hurt you

→ Why “Why you? Why this role? Why now?” matters

→ How hiding behind “we” can make your leadership invisible

→ The “Start with we, add I” formula

→ The four parts of a differentiated interview answer

→ Why generic adjectives don't differentiate you at the $200K+ level

→ How to uncover the career themes that make you stand out
