Hey just out of curiosity; how many graphic designers out there have had to deal with bosses/equal level marketing coworkers that are a decade younger, with less experience and having to take "notes" from them on everything you do (even when they're wrong or you straight up disagree with them)?
For context I'm a Sr level designer & they are Sr level marketing & Sr level videographer. We're the same level but they've been at the company longer. Also we have no direct creative leadership.

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.
