When Only the Top of the Salary Range is Acceptable
Handling an employer's job offer. Be sure to thank the employer for the offer, but be
non-committal:
Employer: "The salary range for this position is $xx,xxx to $xx,xxx. Are you able to accept
a salary within that range?"
Job-Seeker: "Thanks so much for asking me to be a part of your team. I know my unique mix of skills
and abilities will be a great benefit to the organization. Based upon my research and what I've been
discussing with other companies that are currently interested, I would have to say that
only the upper end of that range would be acceptable."
