I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!

36/hr is $72k a year (so you likely wouldn’t make overtime)

Why is it an hourly pay based role? That’s a red flag

I would ask for higher than that. They always have room for negotiations. I would ask for a higher amount than where you actually hope to end up.

Ask for what you actually want, and if you have to, negotiate down from there. I would try for the higher range of whatever they offer and don't be afraid to push back since the average is (potentially) higher than what they're offering.

like

Most recruiters expect a counter-offer, so I'd always ask for more. You can always negotiate down a bit, but it's better than accepting their lowest offer (which is likely what they'll make you to start).

Thanks for the advice and insights! I really appreciate it!
