Any insights into negotiating a full time salary in tech sales? Do I need competing offers to do so?

Always easier to negotiate when you have competing offers, but if that doesn’t work out you can leverage your current position. For example, are you expecting a raise/promotion at your current company in the near future? Use this to your advantage.

Bottom line if you hit it out of the park on your interview the recruiter/hiring manager will do what they can to give you what you want, they need to fill that req with a qualified candidate just as much you need that role.

Hi All. I have a good job offer but I'm wondering whether I should negotiate comp. I made it clear from the beginning what my target for base comp was which is ~$10K over the top of the posted salary range for the job. I also said that I was comfortable proceeding with the interview process despite the top of that range being lower (somewhat weakening my position for later I suppose). The offer is at the very top of the range. Bonus is 5% less than what I get in my current job. Negotiate?
