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?

It's important to check your area, and company. However, with over 16 years of experience, a Commercial Interior Design Director could be making anywhere from $120K to $180K a year total comp, depending on location, firm size, and bonuses. In major cities, it could even go higher. What helps me its to research both online and with other colleges that are on the same spot to get an idea, some people will share that with you.
Thanks this is in the Chicago area
