Has anyone ever asked a hiring manager questions like these during salary negotiations?

• “Based on my experience, where do you see me falling in the range?”
• “Are there gaps or priorities I could help address immediately to support a higher offer?”
• “What would success look like in the first 6–12 months, and how is that tied to compensation?”

Curious how it was received and whether it influenced the final offer.

I've asked something like this. I forget exactly how I worded it, but it was essentially "At my first annual review, I get exceeds expectations on every benchmark and receive a raise. What did I do during my first year to earn it?" I wanted to better understand what success in the role meant to them and how I could achieve it. Didn't get an offer and don't think it would have influenced it if I had, but I still believe it's a worthwhile question.

That’s a good way to put it to get better understanding. Thanks!

I haven't ever asked any of these and these are really great questions to ask. I am definitely going to add these to my interview document and ask them the next time I go to an interview. Thank you for sharing this.

I hope it helps you in your career journey!

Unless it's not obvious what your skills are from the resume, I don't see this happening. Appreciate the initiative but not seeing it.

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?

I put my foot down with my GCD, and she supports me, but I would like to come to the table with my own research. Where should I be looking for accuracy?

It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
