Has anybody asked for a salary that’s more than the posted range in the job description and got it? I’m wondering if that’s just their floor. I’m looking for a slight increase above the posted range because my experience and skills calls for it. Any advise would be helpful.

Always ask for more based on the market and your experience. Keep it short and frame it as wanting to start with the org in a comfortable and confident way. They usually have about 10-20% wiggle room for negotiations.

Agreed. Most companies would be able to increase it or give something else (eg. signing bonus) if they like you
