What is a good salary for a director in NY?
How early is too early to ask for a raise?
Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

If you’re willing to walk away, better to say something now. You have the most leverage in salary negotiations before you take the job, not afterwards.
You can politely ask, explaining that, given your qualifications and experience, you believe you should be higher on the pay scale. If they have already made an offer, it’s less likely they will withdraw it unless you come across as disrespectful. If they do retract after your professional inquiry, you probably avoided a bad situation with this job.
Counter with a number somewhere in the middle and briefly explain your reasoning.
