Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

If you’re in NYC the new law makes it illegal for companies to ask applicants about their salary history during the hiring process including on applications or interviews
You should not have quoted a number. You say, "I'm negotiable depending on the range you're offering. My first priority is finding the right fit"
If they insist back pressing you to give a number first, which is likely, then you share the number that's top third of the range you researched saying something like "I'm being considered for positions in the range of $X-Y" (top third range). Never say "I would like / I'm hoping for" crap. And don't play hardball until they want you and you have an offer letter in hand.
More context: Glassdoor’s range is 61-91—not sure if that’s accurate but I said 65. Bad move for me?
Depends on the role and where you are. I’d assume that the 91 in that range is for top tier people who are just about to move into the NEXT role. As long as you’re within the range and give yourself room to grow, you’ll be fine. You don’t wanna be too expensive that you never end up getting a bump
Just remember-the first person who mentions a number loses
Then find a number that is more but not too much. Look at the salary bowl and see what’s standard.
I ask what their budget is
Tell them what you make now and pad it a little bit. Add, say, 5k more or whatever you feel comfy with. Then you can either put the ball back in their court, or propose a number that’s only a bit over what you say you make. They’ll see the increase as lower on their end, though you’ll see it as a larger bump than they realize.
"... but I'm negotiable."
@AD1 - yes. As a producer for years and hiring manager for as many you don’t want to tip your hand if you don’t have to. Push them for the range if you can, so you can settle into something you’re comfortable with. HR will tell you that you never want to be at the extreme ends of the ‘salary bands’ if you don’t have to. Overpaid = easy to layoff. Underpaid = underpaid and under appreciated. So finding the bands are helpful.
That said, if you’re confident and thoughtful about what you want to make just say that. You’ll have to live up to that number.
