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.

You would need decades of experience to ask that, IMO
