When a job posting compensation range for industry banking tech VP role says $150-210k, does that mean realistic offer will be somewhere in the middle? If you are overqualified for the role, how is it likely that they will offer the top end of the range (i.e. $210k)? Currently M3 getting just under $210k and trying to aim for VP or SVP roles in industry with similar pay range.

It depends. I’ve seen postings recently that say “the range for this role is X. You should expect to be hired at the bottom of the range and progress over time.”
On the other hand, my company hired me at the top of their range because I’m in NYC and their range was based on location.
I’d just be upfront with them and say “the top of your range is about in line with my current salary. I wouldn’t be interested in moving for a significant pay cut” then see what they can do

Could be somewhat unrelated. They might not have the hiring budget for the top of the range. The range is driven by legal considerations so might be that now they can only afford say 170 in your example. Best to probe on that right away

In all cases, the company is looking to pay as little as possible for good talent. Most are posting a range to fulfill a legal requirement. Pa

Research what the market says the role is worth, and get honest with yourself about where you fall in terms of qualifications.

In general new hires typically land in the bottom half of the range. If you need a higher comp to consider leaving, I’d recommend applying for the higher role like SVP/D and ending up close to the bottom rather than looking for a stacked VP offer.

This is not true at all. Well-qualified candidates can often time land nearer the top end of a given rsnge, and even in rare cases negotiate above the range if they have unique skills or relationships to bring to the table.

Working for a big insurance provider and currently at a grade 6 individual contributor role and want to get a grade 8 manager role. Managers make 40% more than my current salary on average. Is it crazy to think I would get offered that because it’s a senior position? I know 10% is a promotion raise at the company but that wouldn’t make sense jumping up 2 levels. Thoughts?
