If they post 170-220 they can afford 220, and everybody will be hitting the upper margin of that.... this means that they'll advertise 140-190, you'll get 180,

If they post 170-220 they can afford 220, and everybody will be hitting the upper margin of that.... this means that they'll advertise 140-190, you'll get 180, and be happy, even though they had a budget for 220, if they couldn't get you to do it for 180.

More generally though, the trick is to research and interview at multiple companies, and get the salary range established early (first call). Companies compete on talent heavily right now, so you can push the ranges by simply talking (not even interviewing) to enough companies, asking ranges, and selecting out the lower ones.
