Getting to final round in an interview process and, ahead of that, the recruiter asked me to re-confirm that the compensation package range (which includes base, bonus, and RSU) continues to align with my expectations. It basically does, but I’d really like to be at the top of the provided base range for a variety of reasons. We’re chatting tomorrow, but, given I don’t actually have the job yet, is it too early to get specific about my actual requirements? How do I approach this?

I've been in 8 final rounds this past year without an offer. Youre still interviewing.

I never asked whether I was still interviewing or not - clearly I am. I’m asking how to approach a conversation about comp and how detailed to go WHILE I’m still interviewing to set myself up to get an attractive offer, if I do get one, without disqualifying myself.

like

Start with what those reasons are. Are you more experienced ? Do you exceed their preferred qualifications? Do you think that your previous interviewers will also agree with that?

No harm in asking for more. “Top” range is usually hard to get, unless they see you as exceptional candidate. So have data to back your ask.

like

Offer or not, you will need the data points for why they should pay you top of the range. Doesn’t matter when you ask. It doesn’t matter if you ask now or later

Last week I got automated call from infosys and asked few details . After that I got call from hr and said my interview is scheduled on next week and very next day one person called me and asked few technical questions .she said she's calling from infosys and this is technical screening round . Today same hr called and said she will be scheduling a client interview.

My doubt is till now I didn't received any mail from infosys. So this is scam or part of infosys interview process?
