Im excited to have a job offer from a major corporation. I was thrilled with my visit and the salary is solid. In looking through the data, the role of senior scientist at this company is listed at 210K my offer came in at 20K less. Am I safe to counter with 4% higher salary? How do I best go about doing it without coming off as greedy? I also plan to ask for PTO that matches my current job.

It’s smart to ask for more but know if you will accept or not if they don’t budge. The higher range of the salary may be for higher cost of living state or a candidate who is between your level and close to the next. It is rare a budgeted and posted “range” is maxed out. At 190 offer for 210 range is quite high as far as range penetration goes but I would ask for a little more! Worst they say is no and there’s room for a meaningful increase down the line.

I look at it as "are you willing to lose the role over 4%" --- sure $8,000 is quite a bit of money.... But what's the difference between your current income & their existing offer?

Where are you getting your “data”. If it was from a source other than the job posting, I’d question the validity of the data. You said you’re happy with the offer, why rock the boat especially if you are asking for more PTO.

If you aren't willing to walk away if you don't get what you are asking for, don't ask for it. If you saw that $210k in the job posting, I most certainly would mention it.

If the difference is something you would walk away over I would definitely bring it up. Are you confident in your salary matches that you’ve found?

I’m currently in a lease admin type role, in commercial real estate. I make a base salary of $50.5K with about $9k in bonuses. I’ve continuously received 7-10% raises over the last 3 years. I anticipate getting a promotion this year and would like to get closer to $60k for my base salary. I’m the only person in my role at the company and have been a key person in developing our team as we look to expand. Is this unreasonable? Is there a normal increase given with promotions? Thanks in advance!

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?

Interviewing at a dream company, and right from the first interview the recruiter told me we are way off on salary expectations. This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market. They already told me the salary range during this first call, but wondering if they like me enough and I get an offer, how I might approach negotiating for more. I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.
