I’m interviewing for a job where the salary range is $130-150K. I currently make $138K. I have over 20 years of total experience with the last 5 years being in this role I’m interviewing for. What would you negotiate for, in terms of salary? I definitely want to negotiate another week of PTO on top of what they offer, due to my seniority. Would you go for $150K?

Ask for 160k, then they will probably offer you 150k and take that. Regardless, you should probably take the offer because the market sucks. If they say 150 isn’t possible, you shouldn’t my go below 140 though. I’m not sure about PTO though because I’ve never negotiated that.

I feel like asking for $160 is actually kind of rude though. They had the range clearly posted in the job description AND they asked me about my salary expectations/if I was within that range. Usually you can go $2-5K above what you truly want to get what’s really in your mind. But $10K 😬 … I would be pissed if a candidate did that much of a leap.

I didn’t get what I was asking for but was able to get an extra week of PTO, something that would have taken 5 years to get. It equaled to the $2,000 difference in pay. Plus I get to carry over 80 hours each year.
