How do you guys negotiate salary? Got an offer for $125K base. The range of the position is wild (115K-170K). I really want to get to at least $140K base. I’m afraid to counter back with $145K and that they will pass on me based on that. Any advice?

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say you were hoping for middle of the advertised pay range ($142.5k), but you’d be willing to accept $140k.

That shows you have rationale behind the number, you’re not being greedy, and you’re potentially willing to accept slightly lower than midrange.

If they pass on the offer because of a counteroffer, you probably don’t want to work there long term anyway

Go for it- use your experience to support the pay you’re asking for. What you want is still in the range of what they are offering for the position so i don’t see why it would be a problem.

Expecting an offer this week or early next week, but want to know when you start negotiating the salary? When you receive the call from the company or wait until receiving the formal offer letter? And how should the negotiation start? Through phone calls or emails? Didn’t use recruiter for this position, so I don’t know what is the process here.

I have no plans in leaving PA anytime soon but I figure maybe I should look into another certification that holds value and makes me more marketable compared to my peers. Appreciate any thoughts and advice.
