If I am shortlisted/finalized for a role outside my current company, are there chances of not getting the offer purely based on how much my expectations were - I asked for a number between the upper level of the range posted on the job posting, hoping that I will be able to settle on a number a little lower than that. But would me asking for the upper level of the range be the pure deciding factor to offer the job - considering I'm a good fit and I'm confident about my skill sets.

Did they ask you for a salary range before you went through interviews? In my experience, being on the high end won't cause you to not receive an offer.

I had given them a range and they didn't want to go that high but they gave me a year 1 offer where with the bonus, I got there. I didn't accept it, but the key is that asking for the high end didn't stop an offer

Plus, if they have already been through the process of doing interviews, they aren't going to not give an offer because of the range you provided. The amount of paperwork that goes into recruiting isn't worth it. If they feel you're a good fit, they will keep discussing and try to make something work.

Know what you are worth. Also the recruiter is usually paid as a percentage of first year salary as the fee so of a recruiter is involved its in their own interests to see the job filled at the upper end of the range. 😂😂😂

Any tips for how to stand out when submitting resumes online to an F50? I have started sending my resume to in-house jobs and it’s hard to even get a response from most listings. I have tried being targeted (e.g., applying to in-house M&A roles and not just any in-house role) and adjusting my resume for particular listings (e.g., highlighting experiences of interest to the company). For a number of places, I have indicated that I am looking for a remote position, which is maybe a negative.

Does your salary band change if interviewing for a purely remote role? They pay should be based on my location, not the company's, right?

Should I take this role?
Pros: 50k bump, company is full remote, no time tracking software, unlimited PTO, 10k in quarterly bonuses, vertical move in responsibility and title, will set me up for future roles in different companies with the title I am looking for (so strategic move)

Cons: Its a startup, the solution they offer is adjacent to my desired industry, its a very small team so I wouldn’t grow my network as much, tech stipend for new laptop (but they don’t provide a work one)
