Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?
How early is too early to ask for a raise?

Companies will rescind offers if they think the candidate isn't operating in good faith, or if they're making a demand that's viewed as unserious. If you're told explicitly that the offer is final and they have no flexibility on salary, and you don't take what they say seriously, they may be offended. If you think it's worth risking it for whatever you're asking for, go ahead and try. But be aware that you are taking a risk.
I have seen offers get pulled, though it’s rare. Usually, when we say an offer is final, it truly is. I think I would focus on whether you like the offer as it stands — if not, it’s okay to decline.
Employment is a two-way relationship. They’re buying your skills for a certain price, and you’re deciding whether that price works for you. So a lot of this comes down to how confident you are that you’re a strong fit for the role. It’s generally okay to have the conversation. If they’ve said the offer is final, you can still respond politely and ask whether there’s a planned salary review after X months or a clear path to a raise. That shows you care about growth and compensation without being pushy or confrontational. In most cases, companies don’t pull offers just because you asked professionally especially if you’re reasonable about it. Worst case, they say no and you decide whether the role is worth it as-is.
Id read the book never split the difference. Basically you high they low and you meet at about 75 which is where you want to actually be and both feel well. The trick is to realise that other benefits they offer make up the gap. So ask for more holiday or ask for a car alowenwce or something.
Wonderful book
My experience has been that if they really want you no matter how ridiculous amount you ask for that power that be thar wants you there will throw the numbers out there to the hiring managers and if you are not the ideal candidate you will know by their response. I would begin with why do they want you, what sets you aside from other candidates. What do you bring to the table and if you settle for the lower salary how well will it balance with your personal life, will it interfere, do the hours work f I r you. ? Remember it will be a few tears before a merit raise comes your way.
Say good bye
I have always personally done polite counteroffers. that being said, they can rescind the offer, and it might truly be out of their range
