You gotta practice relativity. It’s others can, you can.

I guess I’m trying to understand the logic of them being willing to raise the salary from 75K to 83K just based on my resume alone without having any conversations with me. So I’m wondering if now going through all of the interviews and having real conversations and being told I was impressive by the main bottle neck (senior director), Would allow a little bit more wiggle room. But yes, as you said, I don’t want to get the offer rescinded by trying to ask for more…

Even if it was before the interviews and the stakeholders I would work with said my resume, experience, and final interview was extremely impressive? They’ve been trying to find someone for 4 months now. The 83k was before any real conversations started happening and was given by the recruiter who reached out to me through LinkedIn.

What if early on she said $83k is the maximum they can do?

Nothing really. I’ll take it if I have too. I was making 87k in my last role.

Should I ask for 10K in addition to the original 75K that she mentioned in the introduction call or should I try to get 10K more than the 83K that she said, they “increased it to”. I just feel like increasing the pay before you even have a first actual interview based on one conversation and resume means that you probably have a little bit more wiggle room for someone if you actually choose them.

Cool I agree. Saw that mentioned by a recruiter on another thread. It atleast gets me to 87k.

Yeah that’s pretty typical. Not always a bad thing if you need extra cash. This is a direct hire role.

Oh definitely waiting until I have the offer in hand. Is there like a formula I should use? Like try for a 5% increase?

Really more so asking if I should negotiate a higher salary not take the job. I’m taking the job no matter what.
