I WON THIS AMAZING AVATAR! I'M A WINNER! WOOOOO!
I only just found this thread. If the job I am (hopefully) being offered soon has a salary range of $xx,xxx and $zz,zzz and I'd be ok with the mid-range of $yy,yyy how hard should I swing for the fences? I don't want to say Z when I'd take Y, but I don't want to leave money on the table either.

(Also thanks for the moving expenses reminder. I want to ask about that, but won't let it become a deal breaker).

How do you know the salary range? If it's not through some sort of official channel, I'd ask for like, Z + 10%, there's a good chance they'll take you for Z since it's in their range and you might even get more.

The institution has a published salary grid. I fit a certain row based on the job I am applying for and that row has 9 columns from $xx,xxx through to $zz,zzz (technically $rr,rrr through $zz,zzz I suppose, but you get the point) and there is no column beyond $zz,zzz unless I move down another row (which I'm not even certain exists).


Thanks all. Here is hoping that the second interview I just finished will necessitate me taking part in negotiations when I get offered the job.
