How to negotiate salary when you’ve given them a range? I recently panicked and told the recruiter my expected range. If I get to the offer stage, I assume they will offer me the lower end of my range and of course I don’t want to sound ungrateful or greedy, but is there a way to negotiate to a little higher?

Btw I would be fine with the lower end of my range if offered, I’m just curious because I gave a range and not a hard number, is there a way to negotiate?

How large was the range? They say never to give a range bigger than 7K if under 100K

Range was 105k-115k! I based this off of salaries I saw for similar roles in my area (Los angeles) for 3 YOE

You can absolutely negotiate even when you gave them a range. I had interviewed with multiple companies at one time and when I received and offer from one finally I let them know what some other places were offering. Ideally I wanted to go to the place that offered me first, for a lot of reasons. I told them if we can work on getting that to the higher end of my rage I had provided, I would absolutely accept the position.

You can also do some research on salaries for that role. If they offer you something on the lower end, mention how you've had some time to research and based on X, Y and Z with your skills, you'd like to get closer to (insert salary you'd like).

I didn't actually have any other offers at that point either. But it was in my best interest to tell them I was at least in a final round interview with another place, and this is what they were offering (that part was true for me at the time). It never ever hurts to ask, worst they can say is no. I think when asking for more, spin it in a way that says you're excited to join the team, excited for the role, how can we get to this compensation?

I’m considering an AGC position at a small but growing startup. The company is based in NY but everyone is working remotely. I would be 1 of 2 attorneys. Any thoughts on what I might expect as a comp offer and what’s fair? I’ve been in-house in a Director level position for 2 years, and I have 7 total years of experience as an attorney, mostly doing litigation prior to moving in-house. I’m hoping for a decent salary boost but not sure what’s reasonable for small startups (approx. 100 employees).

Does higher vault ranking (v10-30 compared to v80-100) open more doors for corporate in-house opportunities for a senior associate? If chambers practice area rankings and expected billable hours are similar and they offer the same DPW pay scale, does it matter less? Is it better to stay at/lateral to a firm where you might be able last longer to learn the necessary skills? Any personal anecdote or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
