I had final interview with Bank of the West for a Sr.Analyst position in San Jose, and I got a verbal offer from hiring manager. But I have not had a discussion about salary! Their range in JD is from 75-170k. I have no idea how much should I start negotiating from. Maybe midpoint at 122k? Does anyone know compensation structure for Bank of the west? Including bonus and stock if any?

I would never start off giving them my number. I would ask, based on my experience, what is the salary you’re offering, and negotiate from there. Try not to pigeonhole yourself into an amount that is too low by giving a number first. Good luck!

If that's the range, ask for the highest!! Based on....abcd... then go from there. I personally start at 5 or 10K greater than range... then go from there. Don't under sell yourself. But if you have zero experience then maybe 10k less than highest...BUT STATE WHY THEY SHOULD PAY YOU THAT!... Make it enticing. Good luck.

If they’re going to put that kind of range on the JD, go for what you want. Or at least for your minimum. Don’t just settle for their midpoint.

My intuition is that the networks want to call all three to provide extra margin for error given the stakes and fine margins.
