I suggest giving a range but with a twist. The lower end should be what you ideally want so even if the employer gives you that amount, you will be ok. Now the point in my opinion is that you come off as "Flexible" while giving a range giving an impression that you can be negotiated with. But if you stick to a fixed number, then it sounds a little rigid. I think it is more psychological than anything.
- seiji 11y agoThere's usually more than one knob to twist too. salary + equity + benefits + time off + freedom. You can say 0.8x salary + 1.5x equity or 1.2x salary + 1.1x equity, etc. That's where the range comes in. Not a range of salary, but a range of combinations of options. In any case, as the weaker party in employment negotiates, it's best to never volunteer any concrete information yourself.
