Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

If this is the first offer, you should definitely counter. Make sure you express your excitement about the job but ask for more, and maybe tell them why you think are worth more. TBH the upper range is just a number, use it as a guide. Some will say that is the potential range for future growth, and put you smack in the middle of range, others if they really like you, will go above. Congratulations and best of luck
If this is the first offer, you can counter with a number a bit higher. With a brief explanation as to why you think the higher number is justified.
Counter!
