I just got through final interviews and the recruiter said they’re “at the top of their range” before I even mentioned salary. I know that line’s not always true, but I’m not sure how to push back without sounding skeptical. How do you keep the conversation open when they shut it down early?

I'd be like, "what's at the top of your range?" If they already feel convinced you're maxing it out at the $0 you mentioned lol. That's honestly kind of silly and sounds like they might be trying to low-ball.

How bad do you need a job? I'd be clarifying what exactly the top of their range is, but I also wouldn't be pushing negotiations hard if you need the work, unless it's an extreme lowball offer.

If you are at the top of their range now you need to think what the long term will look like for you there.

I am trying to negotiate an internal base increase. Context is that I am at a FinTech following a key strategic and successful M&A in which I was the sole program manager. For reference I have 3 years of experience and have been offered a 10% base increase as a part of my promotion (current salary is 120k). I feel this is quite low given the market but would really appreciate any input

Received an offer for an internal promotion and the verbal offer differed from the written offer. Specifically, the bonus verbalized was 2% higher than the offer letter. HR basically just said ‘sorry, our mistake the letter is right’. What would you do?
