I gave the salary range 90-110k in the initial interview process. What would I say when it comes to final negotiation if I want 100k plus but they offer me 90k or less?

You failed with your range. If you don’t want 90K don’t offer 90K. The bottom is where they will go if they have other candidates. And today there are more seasoned candidates than jobs.

Do your salary research. Evaluate your self worth. Apply a number you would be happy with and a number you would be amazed with. This is your range.

Wait for the offer. When it comes, thank them and express how excited you are about the position. Ask for a day to look over everything (the offer and the benefits package). Sleep on it. Then say the offer is at the lower end of your range and it would be easier to make a jump if they could get closer to 110. Is there anything they could do? If their benefits would cost you more out if pocket, mention that. Don't say anything else. If they have wiggle room, they'll work with you. If they don't, you tried.

Take a deep dive into benefits and justify, with numbers, your counter offer.
Your insurance cost x more a month
You don’t have 401 k matching for the first year that represents x loss per year.
You may not get 10-20k but you’ll probably get something

How do I counter without loosing the offer but maximize what I can get. I gave range to not get cut from the process. They said my book is the best that have seen.

Always ask for 15-20k more than you would expect. When they low-ball you discuss benefits they offer since they don’t meet your bluff number. This is where you begin to see their range.

I didn’t want to go too high initially to not get cut from the interview process. I just need some advice on how to maximize the money from this situation.

Is negotiating still a thing? Salary, title, etc

There’s an opportunity to step up into the role of Director of Product, but I’ve only got 2.5 years of experience and am already being paid below average by like 15%. I’ve accepted this because A. My company has historically underpaid people but I still like the people and B. My lack of experience. I think a promotion would come with a raise, but the percentage difference would most likely only grow and I’m not sure that would be ok with the responsibilities I’d be stepping into. Any advice?
