Question About Listed Salary Range

Good morning, Hive Mind!

I looked at a job posting that listed an anticipatory salary range. I want to apply but am curious if I’m interpreting that wording correctly, that there might be room for negation for a slightly higher salary (about 10k more) than the top end of their estimate? Would love to hear your thoughts.

They are asking for your salary demand but the actual amount could be lower depending on their budget. You can always try and negotiate

I ran into this a lot during my search. That is the grade level salary range. You can be brought in within the range depending on your experience. I did find that any government jobs that I interviewed for was always at the bottom.

You can negotiate, even with government jobs. If you currently make more at a similar position, let the hiring official know. If they want you, they will up the pay.
