Would a $10K counter offer for a mid level role at a 15 person startup be a bad idea?

$10k full time for a year?

Yes, my main concern is that it's an employers market and if you ask too much, you much lose the offer all together

$10k on top of what? What do you do there? Need more information?

If designer mean graphic designer, $85 sound right.
If designer mean product ux/ui designer, then yeah ask more. There are lot of sites can provide you reasons why you should get pay more as product designer. You can also ask Chat to help you craft a pitch reason why you should get $10k more.

Hmm I don't know that I would take that if you aren't currently at a startup. That could be kind of risky for not that much more money. Are there any other benefits that beat out your current role?

10K more than their offer would still be within the range posted

I don't think it hurts to ask especially since you mentioned that it's within the range that they had discussed. As long as you can make a compelling argument for why you deserve that 10K counter I think it's valid to try for it.

Hi all
I started out as a graphic designer. Worked for about 4yrs in different roles. Then i started a digital design role for 2 yrs and then made my transition into ux. i have been in a ux role for 5 years. But i want to steer my career towards something more creative. Like in 5-10 years I wouldn’t want to be a specialist or a ux director. I d like to be an art director or creative director. I love branding & marketing but also product. Would love something that allows me to do both?
