Senior associate with 3 YOE at 130k TC (115 base). Final interview for a PM role at a small company coming up, is 140k base too much to ask for? The opportunity cost of leaving my connections, fast progression, brand recognition, etc makes it hard to justify leaving for less.

It’s likely more than they can afford. Can’t hurt to ask but don’t get your hopes up.

Ask for what you want and if it's too low don't take the offer. Depending on their bonus structure you're not looking at that big of a raise if you ask for 140k. However that's a good base for 3 YOE. Are you in the bay area?

Well could be tough to come back with a number 20k higher but worth a shot. I learned to not be afraid of giving a high number to the recruiter up front. A couple times it saved me the trouble of going through the process when they couldn't come close to what I wanted.
