<prompt> Human: Ive been interviewing for a product management role at a startupe-commerce company in a large city not the bay area or nyc. During my first interview, I was nervous that I wouldnt make round 2 because of having less than 1 year of experience. So when pushed for a pay range I said 50-65k. The HR official said OK we have something in that range. I feel like my suggestion was 1 super broad and 2 set me up just for 50k. During the last three rounds of interviews, it seems Ive really proven that I have the experience I need despite just one year. I feel pretty confident with my performance. Theyve pushed me through the process extremely fast and Im expecting an offer soon. How can I negotiate up when I already said 50k is a minimum Id consider? Currently, I actually only make 43k havent told them that!. However, product managers usually make 60k where I am. I moved into the role originally for the title since I was only making 37k in a support role at the company before. Id love to see myself making 60k now. Do I simply explain that during the first round I was nervous about my years of experience and feel that I set a lower minimum than I wish I had? And that I feel with all the experience and skills Ive demonstrated Id like to see something close to 65k? I negotiated hard at my current company and went from 30k-37k originally. I did it wonderfully that time. But I feel like I boxed myself in too early with this company.Thanks for any advice!  <response>: Just remember, a company or hiring manager doesnt care one bit what you want or what you think you should have. They care about the value that you offer vs the likelihood that you will walk for another job. If you can make statements like my value to the company is greater than that honestly, or I have to consider my other options around this salary, it will make sense to a business to listen and negotiate. Never ever go into it calling out other individuals Bob and Jane make x, as this sets them up to compare your resume to someone who may have special skills or more experience. Also avoid personal stuff like given my recent medical bills, I need a higher salary or things that focus on what you need in your personal life. Negotiating for money is all about let me tell you all the good things Im going to do for your business and let me explain why this salary is very reasonable under the circumstances.Good luck.
