Not sure if I made a mistake here. I’m applying for junior data science / ML roles in the Midwest and gave a salary range of $35-45/hour during an initial call. I’m wondering if that’s underselling or overselling myself, and whether there’s still room to raise the floor later in the process since this was just a first conversation. For context, I have about 1 year of professional experience, plus data/ML experience from university through research assistant roles (not internships).

You might have put yourself into a somewhat lower range that what you could have asked for, but that may work out in your favor. What you don't want to do is eliminate yourself at the outset by asking for too much and seeming unserious, and you haven't done that. And, as you indicate, it's a first conversation. As the process continues and you learn more about the job responsibilities, and you're able to talk in more detail about your experience, you could be able to negotiate upward into the $41-$50/hr range.

This is one of the reasons I always ask what their range is and try to avoid giving a number first. However, until it’s on paper, you can still negotiate. I’d be asking for closer to $45 per hour, and that’s actually on the lower end.

The job is ok but what about the accommodations

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
