Be ready on logistics without fumbling
Logistics questions are easy points you can lose by hesitating. Know your answer on AMER location, whether you need visa sponsorship, your availability and a comp range you can state plainly.

- Visa: answer the sponsorship question directly; ambiguity here stalls the pipeline.
- Comp: give a researched range, not a flinch and tie it to the level you're interviewing for.
