Yes. I’d get as close to the higher end of the range or your ask as possible for the initial offer. In your offer/contract, highlight a review at the 6 or 12 month mark for adjustment in compensation. This should be based on any additional responsibilities you took on that aren’t in the original scope of work, milestones reached, certifications acquired by the company as a result of your work. I understand it comes with risk of them not holding their end of the bargain; but it does allow for an objective approach - pay for performance essentially.
I was able to successfully do this, this past year. Asked for 150 due to the nature of the scope (I was also building systems from scratch), they negotiated me down to 135. I required a review for comp adjustment at 6 months and 12 months in the contract. By month 6 they had added more stuff bc there’s always unknowns that come up with building systems, and said there was no money. At month 12 I had successfully completed the ask PLUS additional items and reached milestones the company needed to continue operations - demanded my 150 and got it.
Thank you so much. Really appreciate this perspective!! I will try to do this
I think it's important to talk about why you want to build processes and systems if they already exist. It's about optimizing and saving money for the company in the long run, even if it costs money upfront. You could also talk about the money-saving aspect when it comes to your salary, and how you deserve a premium for all of the future savings you'll secure through better systems.
Appreciate this thank you!
You can negotiate salary based on really anything. Having to build something from scratch is going to be a ton of work. I would definitely ask for more money.
