I was offered a position as a corporate financial analyst in LA starting in February. What salary range should I negotiate? I have two years of experience in that exact same role. Also I know the CFO of that company, (he was my boss before) with whom I have a very good relationship; we go golfing sometimes, I go to his house to have dinner, etc. How would you handle this situation?

I can't comment on the LA salary, but I can comment on working with a known CFO at a new job....
1) Don't take your personal relationship into the equation. They're likely going to try and get you for the lowest you'll accept because that's their job. (Also make sure you're proving yourself to the rest of the co and not just appearing as some sort of nepotism-like hire).
2) Know your worth by doing your research, and know that you can ask for the higher end of the range (depending on co size, industry, etc) because they DO know you and your work and that's less risky for them... but be prepared to fight a little for it.
3) Watch out for changes in company structure/owner sentiment. If your CFOs job is at risk, so is yours. This is more applicable to family owned businesses because they tend to be more fickle.

I'd say at least $80k. Re: relationship with the CFO, it sounds like you've already worked together in the past as employer/employee and managed to keep personal and professional business separate, so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

Why not negotiate a higher title?

Handjobs are always appreciated

I think the most professional approach is to negotiate based on your capacity. Since we are just talking about your starting salary, your YOE, skills and experience would be enough. Use your connection later on for promotion purposes.

I’m an SE who works 2 AE’s, and from looking at the market am on the bottom end of the pay scale. The company I work for has many different products/services (80+), so they wanted SEs to take on a local “SME” role in a specific area, to support other members of the team.

This role has ramped up quite a bit recently, and people have been coming to me for help with their deals (overviews, demos, POCs) which is increasing my workload.

How would you approach asking for more money here? Thanks!

A wonderful friend recommended me to a recruiter, when the recruiter was looking to place a creative.
This role is at a small agency, I’m going to be paired with a Sr. Copywriter. They’re looking for a conceptual thinker and brilliant designer, no pressure.
I have some internships and some freelance under my belt since graduating portfolio school, and a current laptop that’s running on fumes ha.
I’m intimidated, cautious, yet super grateful to finally hear from someone.
Any words of wisdom?
