Hello, I’m being offered a policy analyst position what is the typical range I should ask for. I’ve done research and it’s a wide range.

As a former recruiter, let them make you an offer - don’t give them any insight or any range.

Thank you! Feel free to ask questions on there & ill create a reel, post or story to answer the questions! If one person is wondering, odds are, others are too!

Since the salary range is too wide you could ask the recruiter “I did some research and found that this role in this industry with this man years of experience ranges from x to y —can you share with me the salary band for the role you are hiring for”?

I would say that’s a very good question to ask!

Depends on type of company, location and YOE. You also shouldn’t offer any number first. Ask them to make an offer based on your experience.

I would say never reveal your current salary. If your YOE is up there, like 10+ go with something on the higher side. If you’re on the lower end, go with a happy medium. Also, check Glassdoor for a salary range.

This is what I always do, you could ask “what’s your budget range for the role?” and then go from there, sometimes you can even go 5-10% higher than their highest end on the range.

Did you ask what the range is for that position? I would ask the recruiter.

I make 74,633 as a policy analyst at a local health department. It’s still very low for NYC.

Interviewing at a dream company, and right from the first interview the recruiter told me we are way off on salary expectations. This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market. They already told me the salary range during this first call, but wondering if they like me enough and I get an offer, how I might approach negotiating for more. I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.

I’m currently in a lease admin type role, in commercial real estate. I make a base salary of $50.5K with about $9k in bonuses. I’ve continuously received 7-10% raises over the last 3 years. I anticipate getting a promotion this year and would like to get closer to $60k for my base salary. I’m the only person in my role at the company and have been a key person in developing our team as we look to expand. Is this unreasonable? Is there a normal increase given with promotions?

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…

When I negotiated my comp, all my discussions were around me being a junior and I only accepted my comp for that reason (would not have accepted if I was step above junior since it was low).

How do I approach this with my boss as I’m not sure she’s aware I’m actually technically a junior? Revolving around asking for a move up + raise
