Have a Strategy & Operations associate interview with a VC based startup in a high COL. I’m 2 YOE and the YOE required is 3-5. If they ask my targeted salary range, what should I ask? I wanted to say 100-130k but I can’t tell if that’s unrealistic

It’s only unrealistic if you believe it is. Choose your number you want and then ask for more and be prepared to explain why you’re worth that much. Expect them to push back a little, negotiate, and then try to land on the number you wanted originally. Both parties will walk away feeling like they got a good deal.

Negotiations 101!

I would research equivalent roles at other startups and big tech firms to ballpark your salary range. For startups I don’t have any experience recruiting, but my rationale would be that their salary should be higher than what I would get at a FANG because it’s more risk that I take with them (especially now). That’s my take, I may be wrong, so definitely see what others reply here. My guess is that you’re coming in on the lower side, without any research from my end. Good luck!

This makes sense, thanks for adding that
