A recruiter called and said I am a final candidate for a role I’ve been interviewing for. They told me they are thinking mid to low $60ks but when I originally spoke to them, they gave me a range of $58-$68k. Then they asked me what my salary expectations were and I was transparent and told them for the role and my experience $68-$80k was the range considering the role is essentially 3 jobs in 1. I told them I’m happy to consider the full offer. Should I be concerned they won’t offer me the job?

If what they can only offer is below your salary expectations, would you want the job?

Good point. Thanks for the input

If they can’t offer you minimum $70k then don’t even accept the offer💯

If they like you enough and see value in what you bring to the table then they will give you what you want.

In a previous role, I was given a range all throughout the interview process and I told them I’m in the range even though I expected 20k more. After final negotiations I got 30k more than what they originally quoted me.

They just made me an offer at $65k. Do you have advice on approaching the salary conversation? Should I give them a specific amount I need in order to make a move, or should I ask them if there’s room to negotiate and give them a number expecting them to meet in the middle? As a side note, benefits are not as great as my current position so that is another thing I am weighing. Really like the company and role, but I’m also not miserable in my current job.

Provide them a specific number of what you'd need to take the job. You could also try asking for sign on bonus or more PTO etc. if those alternatives would work for you and they can't meet the the base you want.

But also take time to really mull over if you want it the job! You mentioned you're happy at your current job that has better benefits, etc so it also sounds like maybe you're not the most excited-- But I also don't know you and why you're looking. I'm just trying to cover all the bases. It's important, when possible, to be excited for the opportunity. If you're not then maybe there's more to think over.

I just received a job offer at a company I'm very interested in working for (yay!). Their salary offer, however, is at the bottom end of the range specified in the job ad. In my initial interview, I said that my salary expectations align with the range specified by the ad. So, my question is do I ask for more? Or do I just accept the offer? The company benefits are decent and I would get stock options, and it's fully remote - if that influences your answer.

Had a recruiter call me about a job I was being considered for, but didn’t know the salary range, the bonus figure, or the PTO. Basically none of the information a perspective candidate needs to know to form an opinion of whether or not this might be a good fit for them. This isn’t the first time I’ve dealt with this kind of nonsense either.

So I just got a written job offer for a Sr. Principal Systems Engineer position. The offer was $142k, with a $10k signing bonus.

It is a little bit lower than what a few other people I know have gotten over the past few weeks in similar positions. I want to counter the offer but I want to make sure I'm not going so high that they balk and walk away. Knowing that others have gotten $145k and a $15k bonus, how high would be too high in a counter offer? Is $150k too much to ask?
