Thoughts on $50k for a visual designer in NYC?
How true is it?

Received this beauty yesterday….. 😍

Hi all, recently in touch by Spotify recruiter for a Sec Engineer position for remote EU and was told that range was 60-80 out of base salary and equity. Had 2 years of security experience out of my 4 years. Was also told that there is no bonus scheme or no sign in bonus 😕 Not sure how I feel about this tbh.
What do you think?

What they've listed here feels low, how does it compare to your past roles? I'd definitely negotiate for the top of the range, especially with that commute. I might even negotiate for the top of the range PLUS only 2 days in office. If you have made more before or are in a good position to negotiate, they could easily concede the extra day at home
I’ve had two past roles: started at $50K then jumped to $75K. And I wasn’t a one person team for either of those roles.
Any tips on how to negotiate for top of the range (or even beyond) and 2 days in office vs 3?
Considering this role doesn’t seem like they’re looking for enablement but rather someone to own their reporting systems and provide analytics on their data—I have a stronger background in the creative side of enablement vs what they’re looking for seems more analytical (so I’m also considering if it would even be a good move for me).
I feel like I’m also grasping at straws and trying to go after the first thing I can find because I haven’t had much luck with interviews and job applications, and I’m nervous if I give up this opportunity, I may have a very difficult time finding something else…especially in this market.
The posting listed the salary range as $69K - $87K. It’s a hybrid role and would require me to drive there at least 1 hour both ways 2-3 times a week (and not 100% sure yet, but I may need to pay for tolls) I’m based in Pennsylvania.
Does this range seem reasonable for what’s expected of the person in this role?
More curious about how they’d feel about a raise after acquiring the other brand.
