Ed's right. At your level you have no leverage. In the companies view you haven't developed any skills and are easily replaceable.

Always try but manage your expectations.

Phase of career and the experience you bring is the deciding factor. I was well above pay grade when I interviewed; they appreciated what I brought to the table and found the money (and then some) and bumped the title/role to mirror the compensation. It can happen.

You can always ask. But they may not have more money or be willing to go out of range since there may be others in that same position and they want to keep it generally even

ALWAYS ask for more money. Worst they can say is, "no," and you rarely get what you don't ask for.

I asked for 5k more on my first job. They thought it was cute, smiled politely, offered me $2,500 more and told me not to push it.

Like SVP1 said-manage expectations.

If they want you badly enough they can often try to figure something out. It’s worth trying, the worst that can happen is they say no

Looking to get into SaaS sales but my experience is in construction and fine furniture (I was a sales manager and was able to lead my team of 4 people to consistently hit 450k monthly targets). I did that for almost 2 years before making the switch. I miss sales, though. Does anyone have any connections to companies looking? I have also considered a sales analyst role considering that I am moderately versed in Salesforce and have worked both the customer facing and sales generating side. TIA!

Is it me or are the salaries low because everyone wants to live in Denver?

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.
