If a job posting states a salary range of $110-127k and you get offered $115k, how much would you ask for and how would you go about asking for more? Also, you meet all the requirements and were actually going for the role above this one but got re-aligned to the lower role.

Just ask for more. I would probably ask for $125,000 and let them meet me halfway. The worst they can say is no but you're potentially walking away from money by not at least trying.

Just say - hey would you accommodate increasing the base raise for the position to 127k? I would ask for top of the band. Or if they won’t raise is then a 10k sign on bonus

Thanks! I definitely plan on mentioning that I was originally being considered for the higher role (they went with someone else and said my experience puts me in between these two roles), and that I have 6 YOE compared to the 3 years listed in the preferred qualifications.

They usually try to leave some breathing room at the too since you likely wont be promoted during the first cycle. Ask for 120.
