Don’t be afraid to ask - you don’t lose anything by asking. Especially if they’re a certain amount away from your ideal number!

Depends on level, size of company, location etc. usually not until director/vp and above level.

Not at director level, so probably doesn’t apply to me regardless. My research left me with more questions than answers so this is helpful context, thanks.

I had my first interview today for a director position I would consider a dream role, and it went well. They want me to talk to the VP, but I found out I would definitely have to relocate to a different state to execute tasks.

The salary is within range of what I would accept, but I just moved to a different state.

I want to leverage this, and follow up with the hiring with another place (similar position in my current city and state) I haven’t heard from yet. Do you think that’s wise to do?
