Why it worked

Summary

"What are your salary expectations for this role?" Okay, great. Last question. What are your salary expectations for this role? Yeah, so, based on my experience and what I've seen for similar roles in I'm targeting something in the 75K to 85K range. hoping for the higher end I mean, I'm flexible depending on the scope of the role, growth opportunities and benefits. I'm really focused on let them know I'm actually interested long term fit. But I would also like to note that when I auto applied through sprout, it surfaced a range of 70K to 90K for this role. And my application was tailored specifically to this posting, so I wanted to anchor somewhere in that window and see what feels realistic on your end. Yeah, so I I appreciate you sharing that but I just wanna be transparent. That's a bit higher than what we typically start at okay... for this level. You know, most candidates coming in with similar experience, we're just closer to the low seventies. Yeah, that makes sense. Um, I'm definitely open to conversation there. My thinking is just based on the scope of the role and the impact I'd be expected to have from day 1. make sure to push! don't just accept what they offer If we're aligned on growth and trajectory, I'm comfortable discussing a starting point that makes sense for both sides. that's totally fair. So we try to balance starting range with long term growth, so there, there definitely will be flexibility depending on how the rest of the process goes. yay! Okay. Yeah. Perfect. I appreciate the transparency.
