How much more $ can you reasonably expect to get when negotiating an initial offer? Especially if they say that the offer is the top of their salary band but potentially flexible?

If the offer is at the top of their salary band then there isn’t likely very much wiggle room unless you’re an exceptional candidate. The band system is meant to help with pay equity, although big networks also use it to keep costs down. But there’s other things you can negotiate like a signing bonus, agency paying for additional training, more vacation days, etc.

How do you feel about splitting everything 50-50 with your partner? I don’t feel as rigid about it bc I feel it balances out one way or another, but my partner feels as if he owes me if we don’t split 50-50 and I pay more. I get where he’s coming from but 50-50 just feels transactional and not intimate.
For context: I make 3x more than he does and he’s still finishing his medical fellowship, so I don’t feel it’s a matter of feeling less than.

Anyone able to help me with the levels at Meta/Facebook and related comp in the US?
