Has anyone successfully negotiated the highest salary in a salary range? I received an offer and want to request the highest salary but uncertain on an appropriate approach.

I have changed jobs a dozen times in 44 years of work. Various reasons I have found that EVERYTHING is negotiable, but it all depends how much they value you. If a lot, higher salary, signing bonus, extra vacation, Friday afternoons off, I've done it all. . But if they don't, you could be out. Get what you think you deserve BEFORE you accept.

It depends if it’s the salary band or hiring range. If it’s the latter it may be possible

Typically the offer should be competitive, given the market data & internal equity (which should be based on employee years of experience performing the work). If you are a very seasoned candidate, you should expect a higher offer but companies usually don’t like to pay at the max of the range.

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation.

The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. 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…
