How would you negotiate in this scenario?

Current salary is 108k…was offered 102k for a fully remote role at a start up. The salary range wasn’t discussed at all during hiring and now have gone through multiple case rounds, met the entire team etc. is it fair to ask for 115-120? I would accept 108-110, honestly maybe even 105.

I think it is absolutely fair to ask for $115k-$120k. The worst they can say is no, but you should always ask for more. Hopefully you can atleast land where you are now.

Update, they matched 108k. I accepted!

Absolutely. Ask for even higher and then come back down to your desired target. Especially with a startup where you will likely be building the foundations for others to operate. Hurry quick ask for the max before they merge and lay you off! 🤣🥲

funny

Lol this!!!

If you would literally say no at 102, then you're in a good position. But I've heard that 10% change is about the most you could hope for. You might think about it that way. Or you could just say something direct, like I don't think I can take this job for under 110. You kind of need to weigh how much you want it vs. are willing to see it go away.

Thanks, I am flexible as I do want a change, but I provided them the range. Let’s see what they say I don’t expect they’ll give the top end of the range at all

Worth the negotiation. Worst they say is no and you can then choose whether to accept or not

Thanks, I’m waiting to hear back. That’s what I figure is worst case they say no

Hi All! Looking for some advice. I am a manager a country club but I do everything. I’m in charge of outside events and member events, in charge of the front of house staff, scheduling, ordering and membership sales for the club. I feel I am very underpaid at $45k. I do get commission but it’s very low ($10k give or take for the year). I work 6/7 days a week sometimes 10+ hrs/day. I’ve been researching salaries to be able to negotiate higher pay. I want to ask for $60k-is this reasonable?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
