You for sure can. The worst that can happen is them say “we don’t do that”. I think I’ve had 3 jobs with signing bonuses and I wish I had asked for more. Only a handful of other times where I was told “no”.

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!
