I’m up for a promotion and the expected increase is probably 5%. That’ll put me about $83k. There’s an internal position that says the salary range is $58k-101k. It’s such a wide range. The posting ends in 2 days, so I need advice quickly!

I think I meet about 85-90% of the job posting requirements. Would I be smart to apply and ask for something on the higher end? ChatGPT recommended I ask fits $100k and negotiate down to $93k-95k.

Don’t let my “name” fool you, I’m head of a large department for a bank. Here’s what I’d expect from you to want to bump that promotion figure—congrats, btw.

You should be having promo conversations with your manager already. Is this just a bump due to experience or will you have direct reports now? Your midline is about $80-83k so you’re really not going to get much than that from an internal move. If you will have direct reports add about $10k more.

Your discussion will be something like: “Thanks for recognizing my efforts. I’m excited to take on additional responsibilities with this promotion. Based on my X years of experience at [company] and the additional tasks, I’m not far from your number. I know what work is required to be successful in this role. That’s why I’m asking for [specific $ (50-65% of median)]. (Pause and wait)

If any resistance, simply state that you’ve reviewed pay bands for this role and you’re looking for alignment with your promotion figure while leaving room for growth over time.

Now's the time to remind your boss of what you bring to the table. Have you impressed him lately? Saved the team? Put in extra hours? Spearheaded team projects and have lent a helping hand outside your immediate realm of responsibilities? You should have a laundry list of accomplishments showing your worth to your company.

I feel I’m in an environment where they want us to always do more and more. I’ve done a lot on the back end to keep our team going, but since it’s not where they’re focused on, I’m not sure they think I’m doing an amazing job. They want me to focus on automating processes, but they’ve put me on 3 other projects to do testing. I need a new perspective I think. Thanks for listening to my vent.

It's a good plan, I always say "go for it" because the "no" you already have by not trying at ALL. So, yes, apply and also be confident about it. You don't need to have 100% match to get the job. Good luck!

My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?

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.

I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.
