Interviewing, Negotiating a Job Offer, and Career Planning

UC Irvine places negotiation within a wider job-search sequence for data and AI learners. Interview preparation comes before offer discussion and career planning. Choose it when the learning need is the transition into work rather than general purchasing or business negotiation.

What you will learn

• Prepare for a data or AI interview.
• Organize a job-offer negotiation.
• Connect an employment choice with a longer-term career plan.

Who this suits

Learners with one to two years of formal or informal data science or AI education, which the provider recommends.

Before you enroll

Coursera labels this beginner, but field-specific study is recommended. Review the interview expectations and compare career examples with the roles and market you intend to enter.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Compare two fictional offers using a written set of priorities. Prepare clarification questions and explain which unknowns should be resolved before evaluating the tradeoffs.
