If you give a desired salary range during the interview process, is it inappropriate to negotiate for above that range when you are offered the job?

That’s a tough one. Only way to do it and not appear silly (IMHO) is if the responsibilities of the job are greater than what was posted for the position.

I've done this. Asked for $10k more because the responsibilities grew as I went through interview process. Got $5k more and an extra week of vacation.

Generally, yes. Though if you’ve learned during the interview that the position covers duties beyond those specified in the listing, you might have a case for it.

I think this is a tough sell. If you’ve told them you want X, and they offer you X. you seem greedy.

I might suggest asking for more vacation or sign on or something else. But it’s tough to ask for more when they gave you what you asked for.

Unpopular opinion but I’ve done it and guided my mentees to do it and each time we’ve all gotten the higher amount.

Thank you for all the thoughtful answers! For some context, I was given a raise at my current company during the interview process and now make the amount I asked for. However, my current company pays my health insurance and the new one doesn’t so I would be taking home less per paycheck.

If the job requirements changed during the interview process, then go for it

I’ve done it by mentioning that I had other offers. It was a quick negotiation and I got the number I wanted. If they really want you, it doesn’t hurt to ask.

My sales lead just gave me my quota for the year. Its increased 120% from last year. I asked if my peers experienced the same increase and the answer is No because I have more experience and up for promo this year. Our bonuses are a % of quota achieved meaning it’s harder for me to get a bonus. Do you think this is fair? What would you do? For additional context, I crushed my quota last year but I feel like I’m being punished now.
