I had an interview today via Zoom and at the end was asked what is my salary requirement. I then asked what was the range for the position. I could tell she wasn’t expecting the question so she took a few minutes to pull up the position. She then said it’s x - xx and we think with your experience it’s more along xx and would that be acceptable. I responded yes. This was my first time asking and will be my go to if the position doesn’t have a range. I’m proud of myself.

Great job! I'm interviewing in the next few weeks, I'll use this tactic if that question pops up

That's great, good work! That's totally the way to handle that. Potential employers typically want you to toss out your own number so they can (potentially) lowball you, and having them tell you the range is definitely the smart move.

Was the range more or less than what you were expecting it to be??

I am usually reluctant in applying for roles that don't have a salary range listed. I would be concerned that the salary they offer, if and when it comes up, would be lower than what I am looking for.

Over the past year, my counsel is constantly judged by a select few senior business folks (eg arguing over FTC compliance, IP risk counsel, and even simple things regarding NDAs that any attorney wouldn’t question. It’s very frustrating that my own team is the one I have to defend my logic to (and not opposing counsel). It feels like they want a rubber stamper, which is not me.I never faced this at my prior in-house roles (probably because they were much a larger). Any advice on how to handle?

Negotiations happened with HR, but my offer letter and documents never mention junior (but I have proof from HR saying I am a junior). How do I approach this with my boss as I’m not sure she’s aware I’m actually technically a junior? Revolving around asking for a move up + raise
