What are your thoughts on negotiating above a narrow pay range? I heard the pay range was between 110-125 which is really narrow. I am looking for 5-10% above the 125. The same role at other companies typically have a range of 100-150 so was thinking I could use that as ammo. Any tips are greatly appreciated!

Ask and you shall find out if you receive. For that difference level, I'd get the offer first, and then negotiate. I wouldn't come in with too many numbers because that could be offputting. Each company is different.

Also, your ammo sucks. "It would be within the range of normal to pay me even less than what you've offered!" is not a killer argument. I should know, I'm a lawyer.

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

I’ve been verbally offered a position at a new company, but the recruiter insists on getting a verbal acceptance before sending the offer in writing. This person insists on negotiating salary before sending the paperwork. Generic benefits, RSUs, bonus info have been provided; it’s all unofficial.

This is absurd. Am I missing some “new way” of doing things? Your take?

I started QA at the company I am currently at 3 years ago. Long story short, within 4 months at the company, I was able to make a career change and step into a PM position. Without having the formal education or PM experience, only my 5 years in QA experience. When I started I made $65k and have jumped to $78k. I have seen other companies post $100k+. Annual review is tomorrow. Should I fight for more or look for more somewhere else if I lose that fight?
