Seems like your method is the most direct way. But remember, the top of that range is never what is paid…especially to a new hire. Most will end up in the middle area and this is so there is room for annual increases.
Some others on this thread have suggested to ask clarifying questions about who falls at the lower or higher ends of the range
If you are in NY by law they have to give you the actual salary band for the position. It should already be on the job description.
Yes true, I have seen that on NYC job posts. The ranges are huge though
Most offers will be below and near the mid point of the range.
That makes sense
Honestly I would just ask them. I usually ask what the range is for the role and they will tell you. But you could just say what is the maximum amount that this role pays?
That’s good wording
When I talk salary with recruiters I just ask if the number they shared is the hiring range, or the full range for the role. I also use it as an opportunity to ask what differentiates someone at the lower end from someone at the higher end, and sniff test whether there's actually any chance of someday getting to that max.
That’s a good point to clarify, thanks!
