When a job posting shows a specific or fixed salary, do you still apply and try to negotiate, or do you skip those opportunities altogether? Curious to hear how others approach this!

I only apply when there is a pay rate posted and when that pay rate is close to my desired pay rate, and then negotiate and I have always been able to negotiate above the posted pay range…

I personally don’t even consider a posting that doesn’t have some sort of pay listed, usually means they know they are under paying their employees or trying to g to keep the new hire pay rate a secret from existing employee. It’s shady and there is not single reason to not post a pay rate or range, unless the employer is attempting to be shady….

I tend to prefer jobs with salary ranges too! But sometimes, even the salary range is too broad. Some have said $60,000 to $95,000. I’d expect mid or high. But you never know. I don’t like those ranges because I might get offered the lower end if the company is a bit greedy.

Are you referring to hourly pay? I do not believe I have seen a job posting with a fixed salary, can you expand on your question?

I’ll try to find it again.

If interested in the role, apply. Many job boards post “estimated ranges” that may be in the ballpark, but can be inaccurate.

OP is stating there is no range, there is just the pay of a straight $90,000. I have never seen that before have you?

It depends on whether the job description has a specific note that the salary is fixed. If not, you can absolutely negotiate later in the hiring process, but if the salary is explicitly described as set in stone, you cannot negotiate without losing the job offer. If the salary is set in stone and is less than your walkaway rate (the minimum pay rate you'll accept), don't apply for the job.

I hope this helps! Good luck!

That’s good advice and makes sense!

I would apply and put my desired salary bc they usually ask on the application. If they call back then we negotiate. If they don’t, then I just move on

True. That definitely works too!

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?
