I get the research part of the preparation. But where I fall flat is in knowing how to best present what I have researched? I'm not supposed to make a powerpoint to advocate for my raise, right? How do I present my findings in a way that is compelling and not totally desperate?

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?
