During a phone call with a recruiter I was asked my salary expectations. I said $85k-$90k which is within the posted range of $66k-$106k. When I said the amount there seemed to be a long pause by the recruiter and then she hesitantly responded that the role would likely land closer to 85k “due to budget”. It makes me wonder if they would comeback with an even lower offer than the $85? What has been your experience with salary ranges and offers lately?

Maybe I'm just desensitized from how long I've been looking for work, but I'd be inclined to take this as a good sign. That number is smack dab in the middle of the posted range, which should mean they've clearly got budget for more than that. If you go through all the rounds and end up getting an offer. I'd expect it to come in right on that $85k and I'd think you'd have a decent chance of negotiating it up to the $90k you're targeting.
