If a salary range for the position I’m going for is 86-129K based in NYC. Is it ok to ask for 140-150 because of current market conditions + inflation and living expenses? This is for an Amex manager position

If you have significant prior experience go for it. 15% on top of their max salary range shouldn’t be an issue for AMEX. As stated above, they could always choose to go with someone else if you’re too “expensive”. In the meantime, keep looking for other opportunities. Countering based on another offer makes things much easier!

If you are going thru a recruiter it's fair to set salary expectations ahead of any interviews so as not to waste your or their time. If you have been extended an offer for the low end of that first range tho and counter with your requested range... Be prepared to have the offer rescinded haha

I just wanted get some advice because not sure how salaries work since the inflation situation just recently started and didn’t want to lowball myself.

I think this is exactly why employers didn’t want to post salary ranges, lol. Personally, I wouldn’t unless I felt like I was really going to crush that position and had another offer for that amount somewhere else.

Yes. You can ask for that. They may not say yes but I would go for it.
