Nearing the end of the interview process for a mid level Product Designer role but experience wise I’d be considered more junior. What do I ask for in terms salary? (Sorry if it’s a stupid question)

I’ve gone through whiteboarding and a design challenge so skill wise I think I’ve proven to them I am capable.

They gave me a range for the role so would I just go with that? It’s higher than average in the market and one I’d be happy with but I feel weird since I’m not actually mid level.

When I graduated college, I job searched for 5+ months and got nothing. I finally interviewed with a company that wanted to hire me on the spot and asked what I wanted to make. Out of shock and desperation, I sold myself short and said something incredibly low. After all, I thought it was fair since I didn’t have experience in this field.

Short answer: Don’t underestimate your potential. If you’re a Jr and made it this far in the process, you’ll grow to a mid-level in no time.

PS I only laughed at your post because your title threw me off. Is your official title “UX Design FELLOW?”

Ask for the higher end, they will counter. If they don't, you didn't ask for a enough! And in your next job ask for more ;)

The worst thing you can do is convince yourself you’re not qualified. They gave their range, act with confidence in asking for the higher end of the band!

You have a design background so you should go with the high end.
