Yes ask for 100K-115K many of my friends are project managers and that’s an average pay. I’ve always been in the HVAC industry.

Depends on the company size. If you want 90k, I would dig to find evidence of 80-100k pay range and present as follows.
“When doing marking research I found people in this role range from 80k-100k depending on experience. My <insert work history> puts me at the top end of that range paired with my educational accolades of an MBA at X university . Investing in me is an investment for the future of X company. I look forward to receiving a competitive offer and to adding value upon hire ( play around with the last line to fit your personality and the vibe HR has had with you).

Remember, don’t look at it as what they will give you, look at it as what you deserve and are valued at

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?
