Hello, I recently received a job offer from Publicis for a Media Supervisor role. The salary range listed online was approximately $80,000–$115,000. However, during conversations with the recruiter, I was told that based on my location in Chicago, the maximum salary is $95,000.

I originally applied for the role because I saw the $115,000 figure listed. The offer I received is for $95,000. Is it reasonable to ask for more, or is $95,000 truly the hard cap for this role?

For context, I have an M

Likely, yes. Posted ranges typically aren’t specific to one geographic location - they encompass the entire US and all people in that role, from the most junior to the most senior. Most candidates aren’t getting the top end of the range unless they’re seasoned in the role / on the cusp of being qualified for the next level and are in the highest cost of living market (San Fran).

I am always very clear about that with candidates, so if you told the recruiter your expectation was $115k at the start of the process and they didn’t push back, that sucks and I’m sorry.

You can ask for more but they'll give you what they'll give you at the end of the day. I made 90k as a supe in Seattle nearly 10 years ago.
