Have you ever requested the peak of the salary range for a role you’ve been offered? I never have and wondering if it’s safe/normal. How do you justify your request? How did the conversation with the recruiter go? Would’ve love to hear your stories

The only people who have the power to circumvent these situations are either going to be business owners or c-suite individuals.

I’ve never heard of anyone qualified and W2 actually reach the “glass ceiling” of the salary listed online.

I would only do that if I knew I could actually justify it. If I have the highest level of experience and education that they are looking for. Otherwise, I probably would stick to the mid range.

What if you’re already mid range ?

There are a lot of factors here. I have negotiated to be on the upper side of the range. I had a lot of experience and some niche skills they were looking for. It’s a supply and demand issue, too. If you are one of many for that role, you just can’t command as much.

You would need decades of experience to ask that, IMO

I have and felt confident given my experience and the needs of the role

What happens when we pray is absolutely incredible.The Holy Spirit within us interprets our groans & our prayers to our advocate Jesus Christ who petitions God the Father on our behalf.

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
