I got a role paying $65k in Philadelphia. I’m unsure if I should negotiate or not and how should I go about it? The market conditions are bad and I don’t have too much experience but the Glassdoor average salary for the role at the company is 85k. What would be your advice?

ALWAYS negotiate! Identify areas from the job description where you can showcase your experience & expertise and correlate it to your request for additional compensation. Take the time to draft a well thought out counteroffer at your desired salary(or slightly over to allow for negotiation). The worst they can say is no, but often the only time for true salary negotiation is when first entering an organization.

Try to make the case for yourself for why that company should pay you more. Specific skills are experience you can highlight for the role. If they are solid on the number, try to be open to other benefits you could negotiate on.

Always negotiate!! Try to leverage data to justify the slightly higher ask

It's worth a shot to try to come up a little. When you pulled the larger minimum salary, did you factor in years of experience, location, education, etc , or did you just go with what Glassdoor gave you? It may be worth going to Salary.com and entering in YOUR specific specs for a better, more realistic comp before countering their offer.

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

I’m currently in the process of being converted from contractor to permanent. In my initial conversations I was under the impression that I was in a different pay grade and asked for a salary 25k higher than the max allotted for my position. I feel like it gave the impression that I don’t know what I’m doing. Any suggestion how I can recover from this?

I’ve been verbally offered a position at a new company, but the recruiter insists on getting a verbal acceptance before sending the offer in writing. This person insists on negotiating salary before sending the paperwork. Generic benefits, RSUs, bonus info have been provided; it’s all unofficial.

This is absurd. Am I missing some “new way” of doing things? Your take?

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?
