Interviewing for an account executive position at a marketing agency and they are asking for a salary range following my initial interview. I was making $62k at my last job which seemed severely underpaid, especially in Los Angeles. I would be fine with $85k but would definitely be more comfortable with around $92k. Does anyone have insight of what the best response of a salary range would be?

I don’t want to under ask but I don’t want to lose the opportunity by asking for too much.

Say something like “My salary is negotiable considering other benefits and total compensation. However, I believe a salary range of $x to $y is reasonable/fair based on my experience and true requirements for this role.”

I would add to this: instead of sharing a range, ask them what their salary bands are. Every job has them. They can share them. You don’t want to undersell yourself and you deserve to be fairly compensated.

2 questions:
1. Should I ask for Senior Mgr (AD) grade - to which they have already said NO
2. Is GBP 76.5K sitting at the lower end of M grade in Deloitte UK? What should be a good expectation for the role

I have been working remotely since covid getting nothing but positive reviews. My company is not remote friendly and is now telling me I have to return to the office or I lose my job.

I understand life isn’t fair but is there an ethical problem with this?
