How much over the salary range did you negotiate for and actually get? Offer is currently at 140k (top of range) and would love to get it to 160k. Is that overshooting? I only have about 2.5-3 years of experience but I have loans to pay 🫩

You can ask and around 10-20% over is acceptable. If they won’t agree to salary increase (which will affect their pay bands), maybe it can be paid as a starting bonus.

My first IHC role listed 140 as top range. I got 175, I had 1.5 YOE. Second listed like 180-190, I got 205. Current one listed like 220-240, I got 275. It really just depends on how badly they want you

$140 is way too low unless you are in a very low cost area. If there is no urgency, keep looking. I left a few months into my second year for a total compensation closer to $200. That was a few years back and that was still low. If you take it, be ready to move again within 1-2y.

Bonus, RSU’s, PTO, all various perks you can try for.

But you’re a junior on an IHC role, $140k isn’t terribly unreasonable

The firm has approved of my transfer to a new city. I am also exploring opportunities in industry in the new city... is it a bad look if I leave a few weeks after I transfer?

Let me tell you, I love the flexibility at my firm, OK pay, and I do a great job, and am comfortable pushing back when I have too much work . BUT managers are terrible at planning and recently end up putting me in preventable situations where I need to work 55 hrs or have the staff work the 55 hours. I literally cannot since I have a family and my daughter is only in day care a few hours a day, I'm already doing my max work. Is it crazy that I may want to leave Bc I hate making ppl miserable?

I keep finding systems or programs that someone was supposed to get me access to/train me on but never did. I’m so stressed out because I never know if I’m missing something huge.
